You'll need to tell us which IRC network you're connecting to (or just the IRC server name will do). It differs between networks - some don't allow registration, some allow almost instant registration and others have an application process of sorts. It should all be free though.
do you know any servers, that will let me setup channel quick and free?Code:irc.planetarion.com

I'm not familiar with irc.planetarion.com so I don't know about channel registration there. You can create a channel just by joining one that doesn't exist, but it'll disappear when everybody leaves. There's probably a help channel there somewhere (type /list) that can explain it if you want to use that IRC server.
The IRC network I usually use, and one which offers both nickname and channel registration, is irc.dal.net. There's a set of web pages explaining the registration services at http://www.dal.net/services/index.php3 , but the basic commands to get yourself set up there are:
/nickserv register password email
That will register your nickname. You'll need to wait for the authorization email and confirm it before you can do the rest.
/nickserv set enforce on
That stops anyone else using your nickname.
Then, to register a channel, create it by joining and then:
/chanserv register #channel password description
The channel password can (and probably should) be different from your nickname password.
