Hello IsaAl122!

If you have a hosting account that you have access to the files and the databases you can always install Free Open Source Software Forums like the following:

phpBB
myBB
Phorum
PunBB
SMF
FluxBB
bbPress

Most hosts have a free installer like Softaculous available to install them for free.
