Any computer with linux and a nice connection to the internet is a potential host (or for example maintain the server at many computers which will share the traffic - I don't understand that kind of stuff (yet)). I'm not sure if an IRC room can be integrated in a web page but since icq2go exists I think it can. About the pleasant view - I personally am not good at it, but there surely are some more talented developers / supporters.
