Login to your hostmonster cpanel control panel, and go to fantastico. Choose either phpbb2 or smf scripts for installation. If you want to have vbulletin script running, you will require to purchase a license from vbulletin homepage. Cost you $80 per year. Which is worth paying, as vbulletion forum script is very excellent. Even the hostmonster official forum site is using vbulletin as well.
Back to the installation process, after you selected phpbb2 forum, the fantastico will guide you through the installation process. Answer few question, and your forum is up running. Simple as that.
