There are a few options.
1) Many hosts like Vultr or Ramnode provide graphical VNC consoles.
2) Graphics aren't necessary; inst/start works just fine from a serial
cnnsole or text; it's just a bit painful to configure. I'm not sure
which providers only give you a a text console.
3) if your host provides neither, then you maybe can install and configure
an image locally, and upload it. This is how you'd do it on GCP.

It's probably blocked; try just connecting:
% telnet tcp!irc.oftc.net!6667
you should rapidly see something like:
connected to tcp!irc.oftc.net!6667 on /net/tcp/17
:larich.oftc.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...

It's a bit bewildering; I wrote up a summary of my understanding a while
ago:
