Why choose the 12Planet Chat Server?
12Planet Chat Server has the best features
and is a very flexible chat solution. We guarantee you that the server can really handle the load it announces, that it does not need any reboot unless you decide to, as opposed to many free or paid third party solutions that will take you a lot of maintenance efforts as soon as the product enters in production mode and starts to get lots of users. Regularly users report to us that their old solution crashed after getting 100 simultaneous users, 12Planet Chat Server will not.
Our software is very competitively priced, especially because technical support is included. We'll provide you unlimited support and help you to launch the server in production mode.
The look & feel of the product is totally flexible, and can be very plain or very rich, customize the chat interface to fit the graphical specs of your site! Sample interfaces can be seen in the screenshots section.

Powerful
Is Java slow? First of all, not at all with a modern JVM
that supports JIT and if programmed correctly! 12Planet
makes a very wise use to Java features, only the fastest and most powerful features.
The chat engine is designed and optimized to support heavy load and still provide
an excellent response time. Thanks to a complex multilevel mutli-threading architecture,
the chat server is in fact more reactive than most C or C++ based server solutions.
