I'm looking into hosting, and wanted to know what to look for? are virtual hoting OK?

Specs for every forum are available on that forum's web site.
A lot of forums (especially if your web site is popular) will require more than virtual hosting, in which case you should get dedicated hosting.

UBB just requires Perl.

Any decent foruim software will take quite a bit of hardware power if you've got thousands of users.
