Best VPS for IRC

[ViPeRR]

Looking for a VPS thats best for IRC Service. I am going to run a IRC network and need 100% up time.

If i could be sponsored that would be good, i would put on my site sponsored by Your Host.

How many users do you plan to have?

By the way, why is your forum name VIPERR and your sig says VIPPER? :D

Irc really dont use any resources what I can see, I had unrealircd running and something like 500 users there and it used 20-40mb ram :P
Are you going to keep it separe from big irc networks?

our vps at buzzhost have awesome uptime. Havent been down once yet! we guarantee 99% uptime.

For IRC networks I recommend getting a dedicated server, VPS isn't such a great solution.

You might want to look into virtual servers with some kind of DDoS protection on the network level. IRC networks usually get DDoS'd, you can get DDoS'd only because someone used a nickname of another user.

DirectSpace has RioRey in front of their network, BurstNET has Cisco Guard. Those are budget providers with some kind of protection so you might want to consider using one of them.

Take a look at http://www.blacklotus.net/hosting/cloud/

You do need a provider that has DDoS protection as Krun!x has mentioned due to the fact that IRC servers / clients are targeted or even randomly. Blacklotus is well known and are a quality / cheap provider for todays "standard".

Im not really looking to pay just sponser the network.

The name of the topic is "Best VPS for IRC", youre asking us what is the best host for IRC networks, and now you say you don't want to pay for it and want a sponsor?

@ VIPERR

Sponsoring VPS for IRC is risky for VPS providers . Because many of the providers have Software firewall and basic DDOS tweakings. 90% of the IRC`s are always under scanner by DDOS attackers.

Better pay and purchase with providers who have hardware firewall and ddos protection.
