200 Acres Undeveloped VPS's

Frontier Domains

Free 4-Week Sysadmin Course

If you want independence, you want to run your own virtual private server (VPS). For four weeks, IRCNow is offering a FREE sysadmin course with a VPS. We will help train pioneers so they can control their own tech.

Of the Users, By the Users, For the Users

Don't build your digital life and business on a platform controlled by a corporate monopoly. There's no future there; the system is rigged against you.

On our network, all users are created equal. We don't answer to billionaire CEOs, elites, or corporate monopolies. This LAN was made for you and me.
