Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
FadE. Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Just wondering who host the IP chat rooms and can I host my own? or by installing it I am actually hosting it... If this is so why do I want to pay for more people to be active in the chat room. I understand if someone else is hosting it.
Alex K. Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 No. The main reason why there isn't is that people would try to install it on shared hosts and end up killing the servers (since chat rooms use a lot of processing power) and getting IPB known as a resource hog.
FadE. Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Yeh I def wouldn't install it on a shared host I would be hosting it on a xen VPS.
Royzee Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Can I host my own then and eliminate the cost? If you want to host your own chat you need to use something other than IP.Chat such as Martin's (IM) IRC-Chat. The drawback is you will need to set up you own chatroom on a public IRC server.
Alex K. Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Yeh I def wouldn't install it on a shared host I would be hosting it on a xen VPS. There are a surprising number of people who wouldn't be so careful. ;)
