Honestly, if you don't have time to devote to maintenance and your forums aren't too popular, DreamHost would be my only recommendation. Otherwise you're much better off going dedicated sooner rather than later. Dicking around with things like a VPS or a grid system are just not worth the hassle.

Thanks. I'm not expecting to get much forum or website traffic, as it's mostly a private forum. It's just that the webhost we were using would crash about once a week during a run (because of people checking DKP/strategies) and updating DKP would always shut down everything else as it cycled through that. So DreamHost it is!
I would like to know more about various php plugins people are using on their sites, I guess. I especially want stuff that integrates with the forum software, because the majority of my guild will go there and ignore most of the other options.
