Martijn,
I understand, this is why I asked for you to possibly give a ballpark. If you guys are fine fitting a $50-ish bill a month, then going for a VPS would be a great middle ground. If everyone is only ok with $30, then I would look at some shared hosting plans at your favorite provider. And if someone in the group hates money and thinks $100+ a month is great, then dedicated hosting is an option (and I would also try and be best friends with that person :)

I would point out the major downside to moving from SF though, and that is site maintenance. All the sudden all the free time you guys had that was going into Wicket will be responding to CVS problems, forum security issues, database crash issues, people not receiving bugz notification issues and all the other crud that goes along with a dev site working.

That being said, a Wicket portal would not only be cool, but be an awesome tutorial and poster child for Wicket. So if you all decide this is in the best interest of the team and it won't side track the project, go for it. I've just been here and done that before and regretted it... as sucky as SF is at times.

For all of the Wicket committers, working on the core project is not a
business. Some of us make a living working on java projects, that
happen to be using Wicket, but that might change soon enough.

So we don't get any money from our Wicket endeavours, so we also
wouldn't like to shell out 300$ per month :-).

We haven't picked out anything yet, and we aren't even sure what we
exactly want. Perhaps we'll leave it the way it currenlty is, or we
might go the spring route (use drupal or another php CMS), or roll our
own...

 Maybe you should clarify the type of budget you are looking to spend on
this? That would make the difference between shared, vps, dedicated, etc.

 But since it's free now, I'm assuming the cheaper the better as long as QoS
is good?

 Yeah, and they are also worth a cheque! :)

Thanks for the pointer!
