That's not an uncommon clause in terms of service; IRC servers tend to be DDoS magnets. Other common nonos are game servers and streaming hosts.

Hosting is one of those things you really ought to spend 10 minutes reading and find out what you are and are not allowed to do. It's basic due dilligence when you're renting someone else's hardware and bandwidth.
