well, phpbb is a free, open source bulletin board software.

If you have a hosting account with php/mysql support - you can more then likely install and run this application.

Most hosting providers will also provide some sort of script installer for you to use...

Hope this helps...

PHPBB is pretty easy to set up, if you know the basics. You just need to ftp the script, run the configuration script from browser and supply the mysql info(hostname, database name and password) and just a few other parameters. Ask your host if you dont know these.
