There's a couple of free forum softwares that can be installed under your cPanel (Fantastico De Luxe, I think). PHPBB and SMF are offered there, but you can also install MyBB.

The easiest way would be to install a Forum system (Pi606 mentioned some), the place a link to it on your current HTML website.

If you want the themes to match you may have to create one yourself (Or ask another member to do it for you).

Hello there,

You can easily install a forum through cPanel as mentioned above, but in order to make it match the rest of your site you'll have to edit / create themes for yourself. Sadly there's not much you can do about this.

You could also try to mess around with the php coding and make the forum tables display in your template. But that would create too much work if you didn't really like the layout.
