Im not too sure where to post this so Im going to post here. Okay I just got accepted for my hosting now I know how to add pages and everything but how do I add or get my forums. Thanx in advanced and sorry for the newb question. 
Forums
You need to install forum software. Forums don't come standard with Frihost. You can download free forum software from several places, but some forums are not allowed on frihost, keep that in mind.
Read the rules for more info.

This would be a good topic under Website Software. If you would like to get your own forum, try PHPBB. It is allowed here. There are other forum software that are not allowed, e.g. the commercial ones.
You do need to get forum software if you want professional looking forums like frihost's forums. Here is a list of forum softwares:
-PHPBB
-Invision Board
-vBulletin
-SMF
-MyBB
Some of them like vBulletin are banned at frihost as you have to pay for them. You may use them if you show proof of a purchase to frihost though. I would prefer PHPBB out of these as it is really good to administrate, moderate and use. It is highly secure, easy to install, FREE, allowed and most important of all, EASY TO UNDERSTAND. It requires a MySQL database though. But at frihost, you'll get one, so need not worry.
If you want, you can host your forums elsewhere like on Forumer.com or [url=http://www.phpbber.com]PHPBBer.com[/url'].
Also, if you want to make your community more interactive, you can use a CMS (Content Management System) like PHP Nuke, Joomla, Mambo, Xoops, etc.
I hope this helped you.

I apreciate all the help but I am still confused, like where do i upload the files to after I have downloaded it. Same with joomla where do i upload it to.
Ok so you can only get the free forums because FriHost doesnt allow paid ones.
There is a readme inside. Read that and it will tell you everything you need to know. Still stuck ? Send me your Msn and ill chat you through ^_^ .
