Backends (short: BE) are the glue between your browser and an IRC server. A Mibbit backend is a java program (server) which keeps track of all the traffic between you and the network you are connected to. There are six BEs at the moment:

  • (www.)mibbit.com/chat/ (full blown main IRC client server)
  • widget.mibbit.com (single network IRC client and load balancer to be used on your web page, used for ssl connections and premium widgets etc.)
  • wbe01.mibbit.com (auxilliary BE)
  • wbe02.mibbit.com (auxilliary BE)
  • wbe03.mibbit.com (auxilliary BE)
  • wbe04.mibbit.com (auxilliary BE, mainly used for non-webirc networks)

Note: use only widget.mibbit.com on your web page, it automatically redirects to the best suited server.
