You can either have self hosted VBulletin 5 "Connect" or hosted VBulletin Cloud.

VB Cloud is based on VB 5 "Connect" which in my experience has serious flaws. As one example, just last Friday people using the cloud version would get error messages when they posted replies and it took VBulletin 28 hours to fix it.

Reply taking ages, very slow and showing error - vBulletin Community Forum

Cloud Status? - vBulletin Community Forum

VB are gushing about how SEO friendly VBulletin 5 Connect is. However the page builder still produces pretty clunky pages and I've seen examples of meta-description tags missing when they should be there and similar issues.

As for forum software I would not recommend VBulletin at the moment as it feels too much like customers are paying $249 for the luxury of being a Beta Tester.
