Hosting and domain names vary wildly.
You need to decide which domain you want and also the level of hosting.
All you need to do is ensure the requirements are met, which are listed here: https://xenforo.com/purchase/

As for installation, etc., it's all covered in the manual: http://xenforo.com/help/installation/

None of the links here come close to a "Step by Step Tutorial for Using XenForo". They have some videos on their youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@XenForo but they're not comprehensive at all.

Look at a theme for your forum.

Pretty sure @XenForo has a manual that you can use.

But think of a theme first so then you know what to do

Put cheap forum hosting into google and choose one.

That's what i did. I found that https://www.namecheap.com was good for my needs.
If you go there look at their hosting which is stella hosting. It has a cpanel with everything you need

but they're not comprehensive at all.

Unluckily.... it's somewhat a "preconceived notion" that folks wanting to set up a site will be
A) Fairly technically competent
B) Have the funds to pay someone to do it for them
or
C) Have the desire to do non-stop research AND already have some technical competency

As long as I've been using XF.. I STILL find new stuff regularly that I did not know about.
