Can I setup two password for a channel? Want one for general users.
Other would be for channel logging third party service.

Nope. Haven't seen such a thing on IRC. Sounds like an interesting
idea though.

Yea I have to give the password to the third party service. Might be a
pain to change the password in case we suspect someone gave out the
password, hence my question.

No IRCD I know of supports this. Instead you want to probably use the
invex system (INVite EXception): set the channel to invite-only (*+i*)
and then add hostmasks for the people you want to let in (*+I
nick!ident@host* on most networks). Alternatively, don't use a third
party logging service and just have a script/bot publish the logs
yourself and ban all unwanted folks.

I don't have a reliable enough server to do this. I assume I can use
Amazon web services...

I have seen some IRC bouncers and bots run on AWS but the connectivity
is not perfect; on par with most other cheap VPSs, I imagine.
