I am trying to revive an old forum that I sort of inherited after a magazine shut down and the owner took off to live it up in Mexico. The Vbulletin software is licensed to me as I was the admin that managed the site on my own dedicated server.

Long story short, I have no way of meeting the bandwidth needs (blocked by my isp) with my current connection at home to run the forum on my Centos 7 box.

So here I am.

The database is semi large, 4gb and the attachment files are approx 12gb total. Will it be possible to get this site up and running here? How would I go about importing the database?

Thanks in advance

If you can compress the DB down to 50MiB using gzip, bzip2 or zip, you can import with phpMyAdmin.
You can also try to use BigDump.

Please be aware that free accounts typically have 512MB of space (you can request more under certain conditions) and MySQL space counts towards that space.
