# Do you support IRC?

> Hosting.com supports Internet Relay Chat (IRC) on a number of our hosting packages.

IRC (**I**nternet **R**elay **C**hat) is an open-source communications protocol. Currently, IRC-related services are only supported on the following user-managed hosting packages:

* Unmanaged VPS

This hosting package provides you with root access and complete control over the operating environment.

We do not support IRC-related services or communications on any managed hosting packages.
