What is all that about?
Let us tackle your probably two most pressing questions right here:
What is IRC?
More on WikipediaInternet Relay Chat is one of the oldest and most battle-tested chat systems in the world. It enables chatting in channels with a group of people or individual messages between users.
There are various big, public IRC networks available for different target groups to use, like Libera Chat, IRCnet, UnderNet, OFTC, EFnet, Rizon or QuakeNet.
To connect to those networks you can either use one of the popular IRC applications like mIRC, WeeChat, Konversation, Textual or HexChat or use web-based clients like The Lounge or KiwiIRC.
ZNC is an open-source IRC bouncer software. It sits between your client and the actual IRC server and therefore provides a layer of security in between and doesn't expose your IP address.
Furthermore it stays connected to the IRC server, even if you're not online. It will record channel and personal messages while you're away and will relay them to you upon your next connect.
It comes with a broad plugin universe (like notifications, automations, auto-logins etc.) that can enhance your experience greatly.

About ZNCHost
Our founding team consists of multiple IRC veterans and enthusiasts, who have been using IRC to communicate for more than 20 years.
The lack of enterprise-grade managed solutions in the IRC universe was always baffling to us. So we built ZNCHost - originally as an internal project just for us, but it turned out to be just too good to hold back!
We provide a safe, stable, privacy-focused, all-around communication solution for you and your team.
