You can usually make databases with cPanel which is what most hosting providers use.

Are you hosting the site yourself?
EDIT: If you are using XAMPP, look here. If you don't use XAMPP, you can easily get PhpMyAdmin and you can make a database with that.

Re: Hosting my own Punbb forum...
What software do you have hosting it? Is it a MAMP?

Re: Hosting my own Punbb forum...
I would suggest using PHP3BB, SMF, or MyBB instead of FluxBB/PunBB because FluxBB/PunBB are the most directly attacked forums for spammers. I am amazed the Scratch Team can keep spammers away from these forums.
