That's true. irccloud exists but no discord equivalent for self-service virtual IRC hosts. And hosting an IRCd is not a simple task; even the most basic "services" like chanserv or nickserv are not simple to get running securely. Not even talking about client-side certificate authentication as supported by OFTC and suchlike.

There are irc daemons that have everything integrated such as oragono [1].

And if you just want an irc server for a couple friends you can just ignore ChanServ/NickServ.. it's not really needed (hell.. ircnet is still going strong and has no services at all!)
