Best Forum Software With Low Server Requirements?

[BoxIT]

Hi, I don’t have a big budget for hosting right now.
Is there any forum software that works well with low RAM and limited disk space?
I’m just starting out and expect slow growth at first. Is Hostnamaste.com OpenVZ VPS hosting trustworthy? What specs should I look for?

One lesson I’ve learned is that even the fastest VPS is risky without a solid backup system. hostpro.com takes daily backups of every service, and I’ve personally restored data after an accidental deletion during a late-night update. Their technical support is excellent and available around the clock—they once walked me through a recovery process step by step at no cost. So if you want both performance and safety, this is a provider to examine.
