Good news everyone!
The latest InspIRCd for your enjoyment is out! We’re sorry about the delay in announcement but our site maintainer was busy with RL and all that boring stuff. On a positive note, yours truly is now also a maintainer of the site and thusly you can also spam me with any site related issues.
A detailed changelog since last release will be attached as always.

Inspircd released 2.0
Jul 7
Inspircd 2.0 beta 2
Mar 19
Enough has been done on 2.0 that it’s probably a good idea to release another beta. There is now an unofficial feature freeze on 2.0, and hopefully the protocol won’t need any further tweaks. Linking with 1.2.x servers is still supported as it has been throughout the entire 2.0 line.
We need people to test 2.0, especially in a live environment. Since it can link to 1.2 servers, it’s possible to link a test server to an existing network and get real network traffic, while (hopefully) restricting any stability issues from the new code to the test server. Alternatively, contact us on IRC if you would like information on linking to the inspircd dev/QA testnet.
InspIRCD 1.2 Final
Aug 31
Finally, Inspire IRCD release their official version 1.2.
A few years in the making, months in the testing, thousands of lines of code in the writing, we’re finally done. 1.2.0 is ready for every day usage. A grand total of 0 issues have been reported since rc5, so we are confident that things should have settled down now, though we will remain ready to rectify any problems that arise.
1.2 aims at following on from the surge in popularity following our stable 1.1 series. A number of new features have been introduced, borrowing on ideas from many other parts of the IRC community, as well as introducing a few of our own. Some performance enhancements and many architectural improvements have also been made.
1.2.0 is now recommended for usage. Networks that do not require any of the new features are still free to run 1.1, which is still supported.

Ever think about to run your own IRCD? I guess the irc addicted people might think to run by their own because they can be netadmin and set everything such as rules and network structure.
If you are really new to IRCD setup, I guess you would choose IRCD account instead of IRC-enabled VPS. From my experince, VPS is the better choice. Here are some of my opinion why VPS is better than IRCD account:
- You have root access
- You can install what application you want if it’s allowed in provider’s TOS
- You might be able to run as many process as you want, it depends on your VPS memory
- Setup your own webserver, mysql and other application you want bla bla.. even it has only 64MB RAM
If you could not find any cheap provider, I can give you a list that I ever had vps with them quite some time before:
- http://www.linode.com, i rate it 9/10 for performance, uptime and customer support
- http://www.minivds.com, i rate it 5/10 for performance and 6 for uptime and customer support
- http://www.hostinginside.com, i rate it 6/10 for performance, uptime and customer support
- http://www.rapidswitch.com, i rate it 8/10 for performance, uptime and customer support
Some VPS which you can run IRC things too are:
There are plenty much more in the internet. Just google it, you will find tons of it listed. You can also find some low price vps in: http://www.lowendbox.com/ but not all provider allow you to run IRC related stuff.
