Hi,
I'm thinkin about VDS #3 , i know that irc is allowd. Just want to ask, can i run on it more that 5 or more ircd servers for my irc network, and the services, proxy scanner etc.

Regards.

well...it might be possible but I doubt it. if your network is gonna have more than 100 people I don't recommend it. The server is shared so you'll basically be running it into the ground if you have a large irc server. I recommend a dedicated server.

and, as it's shared you will notice more lag...

IRC really requires a dedicated server

IRC really requires a dedicated server
But yet it is allowed to host IRC on a VDS...

yes, but as the processor time is shared, it can cause a noticable lag

Just imagine an irc network on the VDS getting Ddos'ed

I host 3 IRCd's on my VDS #2 and it runs great. Ddos does suck though lol. Then again... if your requesting to be on the IRC side of things, that is a risk you take.
