 preserving the classic IRC experience that many users value, making it a lasting
 part of the Filipino online community.
+====== Technology & Infrastructure ======
+The PinoyIRC Network relies on several core technologies to provide a stable, secure,
+and accessible IRC experience for its users.
+===== IRC Protocol =====
+At its core, PinoyIRC operates using the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) protocol, a
+text-based real-time communication system. IRC is known for its simplicity,
+efficiency, and scalability, making it well suited for large chat networks and
+community-driven environments.
+===== IRC Servers =====
+The network consists of multiple interconnected IRC servers located in different
+geographic regions. This distributed server structure helps reduce latency, improve
+reliability, and ensure high availability for users connecting from various parts of
+the world.
+===== Web Panel =====
+PinoyIRC provides a web-based control panel that allows users to manage their network
+accounts, register nicknames, and request virtual hosts (vHosts). This interface
+simplifies common administrative tasks and reduces the need for complex IRC commands.
+===== Security Measures =====
+To protect users and maintain network integrity, PinoyIRC implements various security
+features, including SSL/TLS encryption for secure connections, user and channel modes
+to limit unwanted messages, and server-side protection mechanisms against abuse and
+flooding.
+===== Client Compatibility =====
+PinoyIRC supports a wide range of IRC clients, including popular desktop clients such
+as '''mIRC''' and '''HexChat''', as well as web-based IRC clients. This ensures users
+can connect using their preferred software across different platforms and devices.
