1. No, its a cheap shared hosting. You need better hosting, with a dedicated IP, preferably VPS.

2. Browse this forum, many customers have posted here and they are all running phpBBHS. Also there is a demo at http://demo.phpbbhs.com

3. Seb's script is only for phpBB 2, it doesn't scale at all for large hosts, and seb hasn't been supporting it for last 2 years. Long time ago I was using it myself, I have reported a couple of security holes, few years later they are still not fixed.

1. Any hosting that runs unix and can give you a dedicated IP will do. I'm using http://servint.com for all my websites, even their smallest vps is more than enough. If you are looking for a cheaper host, try asking at http://www.webhostingtalk.com

2. Yes, if you can setup a web server on your computer. All you need is apache, php and mysql.

You'll receive email, but script won't be in it. Script can be downloaded on website in client area.
