Registering your nickname
Type the following command to register your nickname:
/msg NickServ REGISTER password valid@email.address
Note: The email address must be a valid email address you can use, and password must be a valid password (i.e., it cannot be your nickname or less than 5 characters long).
Mibbit Users Note: Creating a account 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.
qChat Users Note: You can simply type /register to initiate nickname registration prompts.
After issuing that command, an email will be sent with a confirmation code to your email address. Copy and paste the codes within 24 hours from your email address you just registered to complete the registration process; otherwise the nick will be available for others to register:
/msg NickServ CONFIRM confirmationCode
Now that you have registered your nickname, you can request a vhost or register a channel.
