hgm, your host might have 1-click script installs if you already have a host.
Or you could look-up preinstalled forum hosting and have it setup for you straight away after signup.

I can recommend SMF and phpBB.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.

phpBB FTW and try install it yourself so you can fix issues and install plugins allows a bit more freedom than the click to install.
