What is the difference between babble and babblet? 

[CodingJungle]

They use the same core technology, Sockets and Nodejs. Babble has many more features, such as rooms, bots, notifications, custom commands and command aliasing. Babblet is a single room (its widget uses the same room as the main app does), Its more comparable to IP.Chat in this regard than Babble is. Its meant for people who want a bit more control over their chat environment than IP.Chat offers, without the resource drain that a shoutbox has.

Hello !

Can I use Babble with a classic hosting plan or do I need a dedicated server for the .js stuff ?

Thank you !

you mean IPS Community in the cloud? you can use it, but you would need something like a digital ocean server or something you can configure node.js on (as i don't believe IPS offers this atm).

No, I use a classic web hosting plan at OVH to host my forum. But I think it won't work unless I use a dedicated server..

I'm not sure what they mean by "classic" other than it could mean its a shared host. if they don't allow you to install and/or execute scripts, then its unlikely you can use babble directly on it. you could check out digitalocean.com, they have low cost cloud computing you can spin up a server and install node to that, then use it as your node.js server.

Okay, thank you !!

A last question, if I buy Babble Lite Version first, do you offer a discount if I buy the full version later ?
