If you know how to host a website, you can use the following : https://www.phpbb.com/ There is multiple solution out there but PhpBB is one of the most popular with PunBB.

If you are using wordpress you can use this plugin: https://bbpress.org/

I don't know many solution already hosted out there but you can search for "hosted forum" and you should be able to find something which fits your needs.

Both IP.Board and vBulletin offers hosting. However, I would recommend using a 3rd party hosting.

When I think of Discussion forum toolkits, Discourse really is the Holy Grail these days, Free and open source.

If you don't mind paying ($140), I would highly recommend Xenforo!
