    Default Can I setup jabber server?

    Hello, I have a question - can I setup jabber server on my bluehost account? If so, what I have to do? I mean IP, ports and other. I know how to install and configure software. I need some information about how to prepare my account. Thanks for answers

    Umm... lol most shared hosting doesn't allow servers like jabber, IRC, etc.

    I guess you dont have the rights to do it as a shared hosting customer. Even though you can have SSH access, you wont have the rights to install it. Anyway, these are never going to be allowed on a shared hosting account. You will need a VPS- obviously from a different company as BH doesnt have any - to install Jabber.
    Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

    ok, so why people can install, for example, teamspeak (http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=399) here?))
    moreover, if you try to examine PERL packages in your cPanel, you'll find djabberd server there, and of course you can install it. Finally, you can compile and install it by hands. But, you can't run it - djabberd's proccess is killed after a while.
    So, I guess that I can run server after all these "investigations" . I read a little these forums and made conclusion that I have to buy dedicated IP and ask Bluehost support to open jabber ports. But I wait an answer for now from bluehost or from people who have already installed jabber server because I wanna follow the rules
