It may be better for shared hosting in terms of the ability to scale, but I'm not sure about it as a service. If you need a powerful server to run a large forum, you'd be better with a dedicated server of VPS. The issue with images is that the forum might not be up to date, and I don't know how easy it will be to update.
If you don't know what you're doing and you don't have the money to hire someone that does, save yourself the headache and opt for a more common option (shared hosting) - where you will be able to get the support that you need.

From the look of it, it's just a ready-made image of MyBB pre-installed (or pre-uploaded with the server configured). So it should be easy to update.
