A 'vHost' (virtual host) allows users to hide their hostmask (i.e., Rizon-BA37C5B3.rogers.com
) with something creative (i.e., i.am.awesome
). The nickname must be registered in order to request a vHost.

Understanding vHosts
- vHost requests are first processed by a bot, which checks if the requested vHost breaks any of the rules above. If your vHost keeps getting rejected and you think it is a mistake,
/join #services
for further assistance. - vHosts must then be manually approved.
- You are only allowed to change your vHost once every 7 days. Spamming the system with frequent requests will result in a ban from the vHost system.
- If you are caught abusing vHosts to evade bans, you will have your vHost removed, akilled from Rizon for a set period of time, and banned from using vHosts for an extended period.
Requesting a vHost
You must have a registered nickname in order to request a vHost. In order to register your nickname, please visit Register your nickname
All vHosts have to be manually approved by a member of the vHost team.
To request a vHost, use the command
/msg HostServ REQUEST vhost.goes.here
Example
/msg HostServ REQUEST my.vhost.is.awesome
Once your vHost is approved it can be turned on via:
/msg HostServ ON
