There are a few multi-forum hosting scripts out there that allow anyone with a webserver to become their own free host. Would you want to start up such a service? If so, how would your service be different? Would you allow backups? Would you put ads on your free hosted forums?
 
I did for a while, back in the vB2 days, but nothing big, it was just for a few friends. I wouldn't mind it, if I could find ways to cover costs without jeopardizing the hosting experience.

You could free host vBulletin boards? I thought that was a paid software.

It was, but I can't remember if it was an add-on or masked sub-forums, but there was a way to essentially make near independent forums for people. I did that for friends so they could have their own forums.
