Trying to find a good shell (Newbie)

flacus · Post by **flacus** » Thu Mar 18, 2004 7:36 pm

Saw alot of comercial shells, dunno which one suits for me.
I need to put a bot which will be on a chan and guard a chan.
Nothing to download or upload...
I would like to have a possibility to dcc on bot, be on the bot and doing regular commands....
putting users, baning, guard topic etc...

so what do i need?

p.s. if uptime is how long will bot be on the net, then it should be 99% or more...
it would be great if it isn't expensive than 5$ a month...

thank you in advanced!

There are shell review sites out there but another good way is word of mouth. If you happen to know people that run eggdrops on Commercial Shells you can ask them.

A little bit of research can go a long way.

Most commercial Providers dont allow XDCC bots anyway or even Emechs for that matter..... So most of the ones in the list on Egghelp are good ... just which gives you more bang for the buck.

Don't forget to mail choosen shell providers if their server could connect on choosen network. Many of them are k-lined on some biggest networks. Especially IRCnet..

Hmm.. are you sure?

• Do you offer vHosts ?
At this moment we don't have any public vHosts. However you can make your own vHosts. You will need your own domain, or you can use the public domains of afraid.org's free service. You also need a dedicated IP for each vHost. If your package doesn't include a dedicated IP you can buy one for $1.00/month. If you buy more than 32 IP's the monthly fee is $0.75/IP. We cannot give any extra free IP's since IP's are really expensive these days because of the small amount of available IP's left.

That probably isn't best irc shell solution... try found better service!

I was with pixelshells, I got an email that they'll no longer offer ircd and shell services.

now am left without ircd services.
I run a small 3d graphics site and just need irc for my members to interact and do tutorials. There's never more than 15 people in the channels at any time. So I guess am also looking for an ircd provider.

Why do you need your own IRCD? simply find a small, stable server and setup your channel there

Being a newbie myself I had the same questions about shells. I started with acmeshells (still at acmeshells) It was my first shell. now I have 4 accounts with them

I don't know how they compare with everyone else but I love em *kiss*
