Windows IRC Dedicated Servers / VPS
I am looking for a Windows Dedicated Server that does let you have the IRC Server on it and it can be linked to others.
Looking at around the 100 or so dollar mark.
Having the DCC Sending disabled to not have the Warez File Sharing on it.
and also that can handle having Services and BOPM (or something like that) attached to it aswell with 1000 users.
-- won't be 1000 users that will be on the Server - that can handle the load
Who are the good ones for around that cost that can handle about 1000 users with Services and BOPM on the Server ?

Without the CTCP message, it is very difficult to initiate a DCC. That message contains the proper IP and port for the second person to connect to. Most clients (if not all) rely on this message to initiate the DCC, so if it does not go through, the only way for a client to get a DCC going is to create their own DCC client and initiate it manually. In that case, it is no longer a DCC, it's a normal PTP connectionJobe1986 wrote:The Deny DCC only stops the CTCP message that kicks of DCC it doesnt actually stop DCC.
What sort of Specs would you need for Server - Services - BOPM (or something like that) - and 1000 users ?

Really depends what kinda users it'll be.
1000 users all idling in 1 channel requires zero power.
1000 users spread across a couple a dozen channel actively chatting plus a few bots etc etc requires quite a bit of power...
I ran 250 active users spread across +/-20 channels plus services an a dual PentiumPro 200MHz with 1/2GB ram (Proliant 800 6/200) without problems. Then again, that box did run on BSD...

It all varies... There are plenty of topics on there about resource and bandwidth usage.
It primarily depends on these factors:
Users
Servers
Channels
Private Messages
Connects/Disconnects
Commands sent
User activity
I have had less than 12 users use over 100MB/day, but as little as 1 MB/day. My box is Linux with 256 RAM and ~1.6GHz, runs perfectly fine (load averages usually never larger than 0.02). I run Unreal, Anope, BOPM, and an AI bot (written in python).

Thank You for that of what it runs on.
I found Aplus for Dedicated Servers and in the Introduction to Dedicated Web Hosting, it was talking about IRC and it sounded like you could run an IRC Server on Aplus and in the AUP it doesn't really say anything about IRC on it.
I sent Aplus a message if you could run an IRC Server and they say you are not allowed to.
