I just started working on xmpp its wiki page says that “The architecture of the XMPP network is similar to email; anyone can run their own XMPP server and there is no central master server.”Hence it is decentralized

In my application I want that user can create a specific group chat box on a click of button.
My question is if the main user who created chatbox become offline will the chat box created by him will remain alive as decentralized suggest that user who created will act as a server. If not , could anyone suggest what can be done for keeping chatboxes alive even when the user become offline.

    Multi User Chats (called ‘MUC’ in the XMPP world) are hosted by a XMPP component. This means that the user who initiated the chat *does not act as chat provider, but this particular MUC component. This component runs usually on the same machine as your XMPP server. Therefore the chat exists – if the MUC is marked as permanent – even if the user quits the chat.
