A full proposal, as such, laying out what we get and how much it costs, with, insasmuch as possible, all contingencies covered, might change people's minds or at least spur some to action ( or inaction). Also, I would suggest an actual forum hosting we could use, not some vague example. So you have "look guys: we can get Honest John's Friendly Forums Which Is Definitely Not A Scam for x amount today and we get this. Plus he'll throw in a free piece of jewellery for everyone, a 9.99 value."

Eliteweb.co is supposed to have fast servers.
Price for a dot com domain:
Get a .com for just $9.99/yr
Price for their most basic hosting plan:
cPanel Hosting that’s easy, reliable and lightning-fast.
$1.49/mo
Includes:
1 website
30 GB storage
10 email accounts
Unmetered bandwidth*
Price for Phpbb (forum software): 0 (it's free)
Maybe we'll use another forum, but phpbb is popular and loaded with features and themes, etc. so it seems like a valid option
9,99 + (1,49 × 12) =
27.87
So there you have it. However, it's not uncommon that there's a hidden fee or special pricing for the first one or two years. Anyways, you get an idea.
