There are free forum services that will host for you (e.g. "invisionplus.net"). You can customize to your specs within parameters.
And there are commercial forums like this one (vBulletin), probably the most used on the internet. They provide the software on a yearly lease basis or outright purchase.
I would begin with a free forum and see how much traffic it generates. If it becomes popular, I would then migrate over to a commercial forum software solution. It will have more tech support and a wider base of users for customization (if needed), troubleshooting and assistance.
