Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms.
These tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow
it as an account option. We do provide a choice of Java
chat rooms for a small extra charge that will more than
fill your needs and run without hindering the performance
of the machine for others.

These are considered on a one to one basis and an extra
charge will be incurred based on system resources used
and operational maintenance needed.

on our servers.
