What are the requirements for SMF? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=478.0)
Is SMF released under the GNU/GPL license? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=482.0)
SMF Requirements (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=9.0)

Simply SMF is free to use, you require a host that offers php and mysql.

There are paid hosts, which are recommended for serious websites.

And there are free web hosts which will let  you play with out any damage to your pocket.

you are very limited when using a host that only provides the forum hosting. if you want to install mods and themes you are best to look for a real host. look here http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=4.0 for more information about hosts.
