Me and my friends are starting a forum. Right now it's on ProBoards.. Where can we get forum software (i.e. phpBB)...? Secondly, how do we go about hosting and renting space for the forum?
 
You can download it for free. phpBB and Invisionboard are both good and both free for noncommercial use.
 
phpBB is usually provided for you by your host. Or Invision. forget the other common one.

For hosting, search this forum and Hot Deals forum for web hosting (check the archives, too).

There are many threads but a great host is AddAction.net (Kudos to RossMAN for finding them)

what does non-commercial mean? what if we employ advertisers to have a banner?

non-commercial = no $$$ made from ads.
commercial = $$$ made from ads.

how much is commercial use?

phpbb looks like it has been released under the GPL. It should be free. Use your browser to go to the site and look at it yourself 😉
