Hello, MercAngel.

This could infact be related to your hosting company, or shell provider. I suggest you should check up if they allow IRC daemons to be ran, This may be the problem to why it's not letting anymore then 10, Maybe it's blocking it because IRCd's are not meant to be ran, connection refused normally means the server is refusing the connection, i mean server as in shell, so check up with your providers, ask them for help if possible, submit a ticket maybe.

Thanks,
Natha.

Note: This is just a suggestion, i hope i helped!
