I'm planning on hosting a server for my website. Do you folks know any
good sites or texfiles I can read to get the knowledge I need. I
wouldn't mind general irc info in addition. I'm sure I want to host
it. And I really don't need people telling me that it's too hard or
that kind of stuff. No matter how difficult it is if I read the
documentation I will figure it out. Thank you so much everyone.
Info about making bots and obscuring users ips would be awesome too.
As well as information about moderating a server. Basically any
information would be gladly accept.  Again please don't try to
discourage me I'm determined to set this dealio up.

I have been lately using [Oragono](https://oragono.io/) irc server, it
is easy to setup and configure. I think the laborious part is to get
the hosting side figured out. You should start trying out the setup on
your own machine. After you have the setup working locally, start
searching for hosting providers where you can replicate the setup.

I would suggest using Linux as the basis for the setup. If you are not
running Linux already, you can install for example Ubuntu server
virtual machine locally and start from there. Ubuntu is good start as
there are a lot of instructions available and it is easy to search for
help online.

I personally prefer InspIRCD with Atheme Services. Also, you could try
checking out Linode and/or DigitalOcean. They seem to have tutorials
for just about anything server related.

I use InspIRCd + atheme, but I switched from InspIRCd to charybdis. I
use a digitalocean vps for my hosting. The standard $5/m does well.
