History

Jabber.org was started in 1999 [1] and has offered free instant messaging continuously since. It originally served as the development test bed for the jabberd project, the original Jabber/XMPP server. [2] After becoming more stable it also became more popular with end users. As of 2012, it was a public production service, and one of the biggest nodes[ citation needed ] on the open XMPP network, with an average of 17,000 users logged in at a time. [3]

Jabber.org originally ran on what is now known as Jabberd14. In 2006 the service was migrated to ejabberd [4] on which it ran until 2010. In 2010 the service was migrated to Isode Limited's M-Link XMPP Server. [5] Which was then migrated to Prosody in 2023 resulting in slight account disruption. [6]

Originally, Jabber.org also offered Jabber accounts. Since June 25, 2013 it stopped offering new accounts [7] although it supports Jabber/XMPP accounts created by other services. [1]
