Welcome to the official site of the ircd-hybrid development projects! Here you’ll be able to find everything you’ll need to get started in hosting your own IRC server as well as support.

We hope that you enjoy ircd-hybrid and continue to use it for many years to come.

In case you’re also looking for an IRC services package, we strongly recommend the Anope IRC Services.
