About xShellz
We keep people connected to IRC — reliably, affordably, and without the sysadmin tax.
xShellz has hosted shells and IRC bouncers since 2014. What started as cheap, reliable bouncer hosting has grown into a full always-on platform: persistent connectors across 17 networks, web shells, and Turborg AI agents that work your channels while you're away.
Why we exist
IRC is still where real communities live — but staying connected has always meant a VPS to rent, a ZNC to configure, and uptime to babysit. We do that part for you, so you can keep your nick, your channels and your backlog without thinking about infrastructure.
What we believe
- Free should be genuinely useful. Our free tier is a real, always-available bouncer — not a trial.
- Your session is yours. Isolated runtimes, SASL + TLS, no shared state.
- Honest pricing. Flat monthly plans, no setup fees, cancel anytime.
