Hi Guys,

Any suggestions on which hosting providers will allow me to run a IRC client on a dedicated server I purchase ? Server will be used only for webhosting and e-mail.

Thanks.

FDCservers.net

ev1servers.net allow it aswell asong as it isnt linked upto other networks ie: a standalone irc server

There's also Staminus.net and BlackLotus.com. I wasn't really thinking when I first got in to the office today :)

Sagonet.com also allows IRC.

Lets start with the fact that he said irc client not irc server. This opens him up to alot of places as many will actually allow clients and not servers. Its also amazing how many places where if you know there wont be a dos attack on it really wont say anything. Places like servermatrix that dont allow irc and I can list several upon serveral servers running at servermatrix.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any hosts that don't allow irc clients. Are you sure you don't want an IRC server?

ircallowed.com

no just IRC client....thanks for the feedback so far.

I would be willing to bet that, unless otherwise noticed, most people asking about irc-allowed providers are referring to those located in the US.

I'm really curious as to why you would think this.

Velcom.com

if you find a provider you like. email them and ask them if they allow irc. there are so many that do it would be hard to list them all

what about nocster ?

most people want dedis that allow irc clients so they can host xdcc bots ;)

that was evil ;)

yeh but doesnt nesserily mean they wato host warez or things like that - im looking for a irc host (well not really would just be a bonus) so that i can distro Anime files through irc.

Anime files aren't exactly legal are they?

depends on the anime if its not licensed then its legal until the license it. much of the anime people only do legal copies.
