Maybe IRC is CPU hungry? I was going to get a Lycos VDS, but I looked at the specs and I thought "Its cheaper to run one at home. The speed is the same, 25KB/s upload on the cheapest option and they dont garuntee you server speed of any kind, the RAM is very low and you only get 15GB of bandwidth. When NTL move to unlimited I can get the same bandwidth but so much more out of it for the same price just running one at home" so I didnt bother.
Their shared hosting is 10Mbps so Ill stick with that for my friends hosting and my own file hosting.
