Hi all, I've been playing about with creating an IRC bot in Perl. Now I have something that sort of works, I'd like to deploy it. Does anyone know of any free/cheap hosting that allows IRC bots to run? It turns out that Dreamhost doesn't  Thanks very much, Ben |

Have you spoken to SAS? IIRC, he runs the site on his own server, so he might be happy to have the X404 IRC channel coming off the same server? |

I've got a no IRC restriction in my data center. However once my new data centre goes live in a couple of weeks I should be able to host whatever I like. |

Saspro, if it's OK to host the bot on there that'd be great. I've been running some tests and rewriting the bot to get memory and CPU down. Running on 32-bit Perl 5.10 the bot seems to require <15mb RAM and <0.5% CPU. It backs some stuff up to files, they are just plain text. On a busy day I've seen this rack up to ~1kb and the script will get rid of old data after 30 days, mainly to minimise memory and hard drive requirements. I don't know what the best way to do it would be, the script needs Perl 5.10 or higher and a number of modules installed. I can email everything to you and email you updates when they come out if you like? Ben |

As soon as the hardware arrives for my new datacentre I can setup a server for it. I'll have 24 physical cores + 24 ht cores & over 100GB RAM so it shouldn't be an issue for resources. I'm guessing the best way forwards would be for me to set up the hardware & then get you to send me a list of OS requirements etc & I can let you set it up from there. |

Sounds like a plan OS wise, mostly any Linux that can run Perl should do and then the minimum hardware config to run the OS. |
