MIXXnet IRC Network - Server Application

MIXXnet Server Application

MIXXnet is always looking for help with new servers. If you would like to help us by donating a server, please answer the following questions and we will get back to you ASAP.

Requirements:
- A stable Unix or Linux dedicated/colocated server (no public web hosting/shell servers)
- A stable multi-homed network (no Cogent please)
- Ability to run IRC on ports 6667 and 6697. Ports 6669 and 7000 are desired, but not required.
- A dedicated IP address for the IRC daemon
- Shell access to our account for installation, maintenance, changing server routing/linking, upgrades, etc
- Proper development tools such as C compilers
- Subversion installed or the ability for us to compile and run it
- NTP Time Sync
- This server must be yours or authorized by the owner to run a server for MIXXnet.
- Server must not be overloaded. We do not require the server to be completely dedicated to MIXXnet, but we need sufficient CPU/RAM to function.
- Advanced notification of all scheduled server or network maintenance so we can minimize downtime by removing the server from rotation

NOTE: Due to instability, we cannot accept servers hosted inside FDCServers or on their network.

At MIXXnet, stability and security is our number one priority. The above requirements of stable hardware, operating system, and network are to ensure the best experience for all MIXXnet users.

Upon submitting this application, we will perform traceroutes and pings from various locations to get a feel for your server's routing and how it will perform on our network. We REALLY appreciate you wanting to help MIXXnet, however since stablity is extremely important, we may not be able to accept every server for various reasons. Main criteria for server additions are routing to our hubs, network reliability/performance, and hardware stability.
