Need help with IRC

[don_will]

Hello, i want to give out IRC for my customers. But i dont know how to do. I didnt find any options in cpanel/whm. Anyone could you tell me how to do? or how to setup IRC in Dedi.

You should check your DataCentres TOS. A lot of DC's don't allow IRC traffic. Those that do, ask that you tell them first.

Apart from that, you won't find an option to give out IRC in cPanel/WHM. This is because cPanel/WHM are for web hosting, not IRC hosting.

You'll need an IRCD if you're planning to give out IRC servers.

thanks for replying me.. my datacenter allowed IRC. could you tell me how to give out

As John mentioned you will need an IRCD search around for server setups and how to install them, you can get all those details on google :)

[don_will]

its hard to find. could you tell me some hints. because when ive search through google. its shows unrealircd, inspircd, bahamut ircd e.t.c. please tell me some hints some links

I would highly recommend doing quite a bit of research before deciding to allow IRCd's to be installed. On top of that, you need to understand that IRC customers are typically much more savvy than web customers...And in that case, can be tougher to monitor.

Also...If you value your customers, do not allow IRCd's to be installed on your web servers. In most cases if you are going to allow full compiler access then you really don't want a control panel to be running at all.

Good luck :)

i have vps for web customers. and i have dedi for IRCD customers. so, anyone coulf you tell me where can i find how to give out IRCD. where can i download or to setup. i need really help

[serverorigin]

I think that was my point. Research it.

Providers that provide services which have no idea about the service is really what gives the market itself a bad name. Don't sell something that you can't support or know anything about.

[don_will]

Not for sale ATM. Learning first and when i'm ready ill sell out. is it hard to tell me how to do or how to install e.t.c ?

There is plenty of IRCd's available, once you have found one you're comfortable with read the documentation provided by the author. Compiling and configuring an IRCd is pretty straight forward, configuration options and descriptions are all in the docs ;)

Good luck.

[don_will]

hmmm... i think it is hard to tell to someone. and also shared. its very strange, i dont understand you guys. This is a shared world. Someday i'll know how to do and how to host IRCD Shells. And ill let you know or ill post for those who didnt know how to do. So.. sorry for this topic. please Admin close this thread.

I'm sorry you didn't gather the information you were looking for, don. Most users whom seek IRCd shells usually possess the knowledge to compile and configure their IRCd's, but some IRCd shell providers do offer scripts that can produce a compiled IRCd, and all that's left is to edit the configuration file(s) as they want it.

[serverorigin]

Agreed. I think the misunderstanding I have is why you would sell a service that you know nothing more about than what other users on a forum told you. I would recommend buying a shell somewhere, compiling an IRCd, compiling services... Setup an eggdrop and a BNC.. Learn the ins and outs of each. Once you've done that, now go compile energymech and different IRCd's.
bahamut / ratbox / Unreal / QuakeNet / Hybrid / beware / blackened / NeoIRCd

Then... Now go compile services and make them work such as:
anope/majick/eggdrop services/ IRC Services 5x / epona / neostats

Once you have all of those compiled and you have made each actually work together... Now you know 300% more than at this point. Then I suggest reading up on why most companies don't allow IRC hosting and the issues they have had. If you are then as sure as you are now that you want it and can support it. Then good luck to you.

ermm. i know how to compile all that IRCD and how to configure. also services. what about BG, Disk Space, Userlimit e.t.c. i know theres a software for all these. but i dont know the name and how to get. and also i knew it why most companies didnt allow IRCD. what i mean is what software they use to sell IRCD and to set Userlimit, BG, Disk space e.t.c thanks for replying me. ive asked many IRCD Providers. but they didnt want to tell me.

One reason is fear fo DDoS attacks

[serverorigin]

*sigh*....I have answered your question.

[don_will]
