    Hi

    If your hosting plan has a CPanel and Fantastico you can setup PHP BB in a couple of seconds (literally)! Even without Fantastico this still a very simple install.

    There are a few other open source forum programs as well that are equally easy to setup.

    almost all forum scripts like, SMF, PHPBB, PunBB, are easy takes few seconds to setup. Can also try Joomla with Fireboard forum component.

    my domain is also on godaddy, after registering the domain, you will have domain management area where you can install forums or CMS's etc
