RIP PICHU.
000Webhosting isn't that great. If it is a small forum it might work. Best bet is just go use one of the already built forums that supply you with everything and work with what they have, Purchase your own domain on the side and attach it to that board for about 10 bucks. Set up a premium or donation and earn cash on the side until you can afford VBulletin and then make your migration. You will lose all information of users but you can give them a 2 week warning of the transfer, send daily emails saying the site is making a change and you will need to re-register.

I've seen people do this a few times and it's how they got their boards up.

Hes right places like freeforums or forumotion are great places to start a forum with phpbb3. It's a better idea then using a free webhost because of all the limits.
