It should decide by which your host support. If you use the host provided by Xisto, Php is obviously selected.
PHPBB is good ,and the most important thing is that it is a opensource soft. So you can download from https://www.phpbb.com/downloads/
Install process will be very simple, only do follow the tips. Before this plz read the installation introduce .
