Thought about it, and want to add VBulletin to my page but How do I check if my site is capable of using the software? Its telling me I need to know MySQL Info..and If its not How can I fix that so it is capable? thanks

MySQL is an open source database. Whether you have it depends on the hosting package you have and the information should have been among the list of what is allowed/disallowed. If you still don't know, check the information where you obtained your hosting package and/or put in a support ticket/phone call.

If you have a CPanel, then MySQL my be listed there and ready for install at the click of a button/link by the application installer.

Thanks man.. this is some specs on the package I have

200GB/month of data transfer (also known as bandwidth) allows lots of users to visit your site
Top scripting languages and database tools like PHP, Perl, and MySQL for building interactive web sites

^^So does that mean VBulletin will be compatible?

Seems so:

vBulletin is a powerful community solution that makes it easy to add a forum messaging system to your web site. vBulletin is developed using PHP and MySQL (a highly efficient open-source database). This solid back end technology allowed us to develop a product that is both amazingly fast, yet reassuringly stable.
