another argument could be the security. but a not very well comfigured apache (or any other service for that matter) could be exploited just as fast as any irc bot.
anyone recommend any hosts that will allow me to run irc bots?

Because when you put up an IRCD on any respectable chat network you will get DDOS. And if you use a bot to hold a channel (a well known channel) that'll probably get DDOS' d as well.
No one likes to have their network attacked ;0
