The first thing to do is get the domain name to point to your ip address. Most dns providers will give you a web interface to do it. You'll need to check with them.

Then you just need to install the services that you want to run - ie dancer-ircd, apache and vsftpd. Also make sure that you have opened up the required ports for each service.l

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you just looking for an irc client? Take a look at irssi or epic.
