No, IPB is a paid Board. You need to purchase a licence from them to set up an IPB Forum.Fantastico includes several Board softwares, like phpbb2.I would encourage you to check out AEF Forums.

Invision power board used to give out version 1.3 free a couple years back, they no longer do this and now you must pay for a license. There are nulled versions of IPB, which are basically hacked copies of the software, and if you are found using this on Xisto, or many other hosts, they will suspend your site without notice. Like haslip said, use

AEF
IPBFree, it's a ipb host. I personally do not like them, but maybe you will
Mybb, a forum software based of Vbulletin
YABB, a forum software written perl
SMF, software which is available in Fantastico. Similar to Yabb

Hope those help!

I'm currently using phpBB3 which you can download from https://www.phpbb.com/. In my opinion, it is a lot better than phpBB2 and is pretty much on par and some features are actually better (in my opinion) than invision power board.
