You can go to hostmyimagesite.com and host an .ico (icon) file. They will provide you with a direct URL (address) to the image.

Then you take that address, log into your AdminCP:

Skinning & Styles >> board wrapper >> Meta Tags:

add this: <link rel='shortcut icon' href='ADDRESS PROVIDED TO THE IMAGE GOES HERE' />

just be sure to replace the part ADDRESS PROVIDED TO THE IMAGE GOES HERE with the direct link to the image they provided.


NOTE:
According to the W3C, you can actually use any image as a favicon by using this:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http: // somesite.com/myicon.png" />
* if you use this method, be sure the parts in bold, the image extension, matches!

I personally do not like this method and highly recommend you use the first example I provided.
