There are many to choose from, most of them being PHP/Python/Ruby.

IPB, PHPBB, Discourse, Misago, SMF, VBulletin. My favourites have to be Misago or Discourse.

OcUK runs on Vbulletin, albeit a very outdated version (3.7.3 which is 2008). The newer ones look much nicer.

Thank you

Can you Misago on a website? Do you know how much VBulletin is?

As long as your host supports Python/Django you should be fine.

Misago is yes, it's completely open-source.

Also open source and free. It runs on ruby however so I'm not sure if it needs a dedicated machine (VPS/dedicated server).
