ParaChat Server Standard Edition is a fast, easy and affordable way to host and manage your own real-time
communication software - for one web site, or for multiple web sites. Our Java chat server is 100% Pure Java-certified,
making it a cross-platform application that runs on your Windows, Unix, Linux, or FreeBSD servers. ParaChat Server
software is feature-rich and easy to use for administrators and users alike. Since 1996, ParaChat has licensed
over
3,331,564 Java chat rooms to web sites around the globe. Our Java chat server software is at the foundation of that popularity.
The ParaChat client (chat room) does not require a user to download any additional software or plug-ins,
and is accessed using a Java-enabled web browser. There are no signed applets or security warnings to detract from
the end-user experience. The ParaChat client is fully customizable to the scheme of a web page.
See our Features page for a complete list of features.

Our Java chat server is accessed by the ParaChat client using a TCP/IP connection, or can be configured
to make an HTTP connection to tunnel through firewalls. ParaChat Server is administered using a web-based
interface for chat room and admin user creation, real-time usage reporting, chat room transcript retrieval,
and branding and banner image uploads. ParaChat also uses simple text files for server, chat room, and
admin user configuration, making server-side administration a cinch. ParaChat's admin server permits
telnet access to the chat server to execute a variety of administrative functions.
If you don't have the time or the ability to download, install, configure, host and continually monitor
your own chat server software, let ParaChat do it for you! ParaChat Enterprise
is the fast, easy and hassle-free way to license a hosted, dedicated ParaChat Server.

How It Works
Downloading and installing ParaChat Server is fast, easy -- and free!

any time. The software that you initially install is a full version
of ParaChat Server that contains a free, 5-user, perpetual license key. To
allow a greater number of users to connect to your ParaChat Server, you may
purchase a larger
license key securely online. Your new license key is conveniently
and promptly issued to you by email.

Scalability And Load Balancing
ParaChat MuxSock™ is our optimization module utilizing socket multiplexing to improve
scalability and performance. Socket multiplexing allows multiple communication threads to be channeled through
a single socket. This performance enhancement delivers a more reliable, scalable and efficient server.
ParaChat with MuxSock can process well over 1,000 simultaneous connections on a single server and virtually
an unlimited number of simultaneous connections across multiple MuxSock
installations. The best part is that all of these connections can be multiplexed to a single chat server on one machine!
MuxSock is available only for Solaris on x86, Solaris on Sparc, and Linux.
ParaChat MuxSock is now included with server license orders of
1000 users or greater, at no additional cost, and on applicable platforms only.
