You might want to post this in Hosting Request as it is a violation of this board's TOS for web hosters to advertise in here.

But you might want to consider not paying 1 year in advance. Do it monthly first until you are sure that hoster is who you want to be than move on the annual payment if you want. This way you would not be trapped on a plan which does not work out.

Not sure if there are web hosters which would provide shell access but I am sure that they would provide a way in which you could upload your database since vbulletin is not something new.
