cl58 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Are IRC Perl scripts allowed to run on HelioHost sites? My site is not only going to be a file-hosting repository (it is a real site), but I want to run an IRC log bot built on Perl. Many hosts do not allow IRC/bot scripts so I want to check before doing anything. Quote
Byron Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Many hosts do not allow IRC/bot scripts so I want to check before doing anything. Why is that? Does it put a heavy load on the server? As far as I know it's allowed but if you load the server heavily your account will be suspended. Quote

If it puts on a heavy load, I will stop. Thanks Quote
