Registering your nickname

Type the following commands to register your nickname:

  1. /msg NickServ REGISTER password valid@email.address
    You must be able to check the email address you use, and the password must be at least 5 characters long.
    Mibbit Users: Creating an account at Mibbit does not mean that you have registered on Rizon. Nick registration on Rizon is completely different and not affiliated with Mibbit in any way.
  2. Check for an email from Rizon. Within 24 hours, copy and paste the confirmation code from the email to complete the registration process; otherwise the nick will be available for others to register:
    /msg NickServ CONFIRM ConfirmationCodeFromEmail

Now that you have registered your nickname, you can request a vHost or register a channel.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Wrong Email

If you entered a wrong email address in your nick registration, you can issue the following command and then re-register your nickname:

/msg NickServ CANCEL password

(Where password is the password you used to register your nick before.)

Lost Password

See Reset Nick Password.

Expired Nick

Registered nicks will expire after 90 days of inactivity; i.e., you must IDENTIFY the nickname before the expiration date:

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password

(Where password is the password you used to register your nick before.)
