Run an IRC-Bot on a server?

Is it possible to run a JAVA application (an IRC-Bot) on a server?

I developed it with java and it works fine, login works, sending messages works and so on, the bot is full functional.

I'd now like to run the bot on a server so I don't have to run it locally and be online with my computer 24/7.

If it isn't possible to run a normal JAVA application on a server, what other possibilities do I have?

Thanks in advance!

Of course you can install Java applications on a server - just as any other piece of software. Running on a server usually (i.e. not always) just requires, that the application does not use any kind of GUI and that some additional start/stop scripts must be written and put into the right place.

But the gory details vary between the server's operating system, distribution, the frameworks your have used,... Therefore this very generic question will not help you with the details.

Yes, it is possible to run a Java application on a server.

Depending on how you wrote your application, you'll need:

  • A tomcat enabled hosting; or

  • A dedicated virtual machine in which you can configure firewall ports, running apps, etc.

Would need more information to answer your question better.
