IRCXpro Server review

Think twice


It's too costly, and too much resource overhead. Let alone that, IRC is an open product - they've taken it, packaged it and tried to sell it.

By all means, charge for the software itself, but not for the functionality it can do or limit its capability based on licence structures -- most IRCd's can do what IRCXpro can do and better. And for free.

Now where is 'Add/remove programs'....

Verdict

The excellent IRCXpro is an affordable and easily-configured IRC server for Windows -- and it’s still in development, unlike many older Windows IRC servers.

Typical price

£ 34

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
