kirenet.com marketing pages redirect here. Client area / cart stay at https://www.kirenet.com/account/. Managed Eggdrop lives at https://eggdrops.net/ (serves as https://botname.net/).

## What we sell

- Linux shell accounts over SSH. Plans: starter $1.99/mo ($19.99/yr), standard $2.99/mo ($29.99/yr), heavy $4.99/mo ($49.99/yr). Monthly or yearly only.
- Starter: 1 background process, 1 foreground process, 100MB disk, IRC vanity vhosts, 1 dedicated IPv6.
- Standard: 2 background processes, 2 foreground processes, 1GB disk, IRC vanity vhosts, 5 dedicated IPv6.
- Heavy: unlimited processes, unlimited disk, IRC vanity vhosts, 10 dedicated IPv6. IRC daemons are not allowed on Heavy; use IRCD Shells.
- IRCD Shells: Basic IRCD $15.99/mo ($159.99/yr), Advanced IRCD $19.99/mo ($199.99/yr). Dedicated IPv4 and IPv6. Bind 6667/6697/7000. NickServ/ChanServ upgrade $5/mo or $50/yr.
- Self-managed Eggdrop on a shell (`getegg`), or a managed Eggdrop (we install it) at eggdrops.net: $3.99/mo or $39.99/yr.
- Self-managed Limnoria on a shell (`getlim` wizard) — no managed Limnoria SKU. Cart gid=7.
- ZNC and psyBNC bouncers.
- Vanity IPv4/IPv6 PTRs from the same pool used on shells.
- `you@kire.net` email with the shell (same password as SSH). Standard and Heavy: yes. Starter: no. Webmail https://webmail.kire.net/ (fallback https://kire.net:2096/) — IMAP/POP/SMTP `mail.kire.net` (993 / 995 / 465). Details: /email_configuration.php
- SSH port forwarding (`-L` / `-R` / `-D`), TCP/SSL proxies (socat, stunnel if present), and WireGuard from the account. Allowed. Not a VPN SKU, not an open proxy, not a residential proxy farm. Guides: /ssh-forwarding, /tcp-ssl-proxy, /wireguard.

We do not sell Kubernetes, “cloud panels,” or web hosting as the headline product. Identd, vhosts, screen/tmux, and DDoS Defense Systems in front of the server are the point.

## Do not confuse with

- Old URLs such as /linux-shell-accounts.php, /znc.php, /psybnc.php redirect. /ircd.php is the IRCD Shells brochure. /ircd-hosting.php redirects to /ircd.php. ircdshell.com redirects to https://www.kirenet.com/ircd.php.
- /account/admin, invoices, tickets, and vendor paths are not public documentation.

## Design practice

The public design / portfolio site is **https://kire.org/** — custom websites, storefronts, identity, and hosting as one offer. Separate host from this IRC/shell product site. LLM brief: https://kire.org/llms.txt — full: https://kire.org/llms-full.txt
