Have your heard about Forumotion?
It's very easy to sign up, you simply need to provide the forum name, subdomain (what will appear in the URL), password, email address and the category of the forum. All of this takes around two minutes, after which you can choose the initial forum skin, then you are taken directly to your new forum.

Give it a try : free forums

Hope this can help!

Before i got my dedicated, i used http://www.nicetopics.com - try it too

Yeah, I'd have to sayhttp://invisionfree.com/, used it many times in the past, its great. A free account at no-ip.org will let you cut down the long URL.
