Thank you for your interest in contributing to PinoyIRC Network
We believe it’s essential that potential server sponsors understand that we do not operate like your conventional IRC network. Our Infrastructure team carries out server administration, and we don’t guarantee server sponsors any minimum level of access or privilege on the network.
System specifications
Below are our (minimum) requirements for IRC servers:
- CPU (vCPU/cores): 2
- RAM: 2 GB
- Disk: 20 GB
- Any Operating System
System configuration
Our Infrastructure team manages servers centrally, and will require exclusive root access.
Other requirements
Your hosting provider must allow IRC traffic on their network, specifically, running IRC servers connected to public IRC networks. We will verify this when we review your application.
Because our Infrastructure team manages the servers, we don’t require active involvement from our server sponsors in the network’s daily operations. Although, we do ask that you:
- always ensure that we have up-to-date contact information for you, both on and offline;
- stay subscribed to the server sponsors mailing list (low-traffic, announcements only);
- give us advanced warning, where possible, of any scheduled network, hardware and software maintenance;
- and communicate unexpected downtime and maintenance with us ASAP
