Submitting a network

Prerequisites

Before you submit your network please be sure you meet the following requirements:

• You have an IRC Driven account and are logged in
• You currently have at minimum 1 channel with 2 users
• You currently have 5 or more global users
• You have a valid domain name (no free or dynamic DNS services)
• You have an email address associated with that domain (e.g. admin@yournetwork.com)

Fill out the submission form

The submission form is a single page at Submit Your Network. You must be logged in to see it. Complete each section in order:

1. Network Name — Enter your network name (letters, numbers, dots, and dashes only). The name is validated in real time; if it is already indexed, pending, blacklisted, or disabled, a message will appear below the field. Fix any errors or contact IRC Driven support before continuing.
2. Network Details — Enter your network's website URL, round robin (chat) address (e.g. irc.yournetwork.com), and an admin email address that uses the same domain as your website.
3. Configuration — Choose the /LIST command delay (or "No delay" if you exempt our crawler). Enable "Require SSL/TLS" only if your network requires SSL for all connections (ircs:// on port 6697).
4. Acceptable Usage Policy — Read the policy sections, then check the box to confirm you have read and agree.
5. Click Submit Network for Review to send your submission.

After you submit

If the submission was successful, you will see a confirmation page and the review process will begin. It includes:

1. A bot prechecks your network to verify the network is within our requirements and indexable
2. If it fails you will need to fix the issues in the email sent after the precheck
3. If it passes you will need to verify your network email address
4. Once your network email is verified, an IRC Driven admin will perform a manual final approval within 24 hours to add the network to the site
