Is it possible to move my FREE forum to my own host in it's current state or would I have to start over from scratch?

You'll have to start over from scratch

Thanks. I was hoping there was a way to pay for the data through some sort of upgrade or something.  What if my forum grows to leaps and bounds?  Is the SMF FOR FREE still a viable option?  When is it not feasible to use any longer?

We do not offer database backups nor any type of upgraded service so that would not be a possibility.

You could purchase a domain name via Godaddy.com or another domain host and park it on your forum.

There is no limit on the amount of members,  posts, topics.     We have many huge forums with the service.
Granted you may need to consider purchasing ad free credits more frequently or more space for attachements/avatars but with a LOT of members you can encourage them to help out with that as well.
