A 'vHost' (virtual host) allows users to hide their hostmask (i.e., Rizon-AB252A-rogers.com) with something creative (i.e., host.like.this). The nickname must be registered in order to request a vHost.

Rules

All vHosts

  1. must contain a dot (aka . )
    • Valid: some.vhost
    • Invalid: somevhost
  2. must not be an IP or IP look-a-like.
    • Invalid: 127.0.0.1
  3. must not resolve. (This basically means the vHost can't point to an actual site.)
    • Valid: not.a.real.website
    • Invalid: google.com
    • Invalid: rizon.net
  4. must not mimic government organizations. (e.g. *.gov, *.gc.ca, FBI, etc.) And, no impersonating private organizations which have government affiliation (MPAA, RIAA, etc.)
  5. must not contain the words 'forum', 'ircop', 'admin', 'network', 'rizon', or any IRCop's nick.
  6. must not contain racist words. (Note: what is considered racist/derogatory is subject to discretion by vHost team members.)
  7. must not refer to other networks/spamming. (e.g. come.to.irc.blahblahblah.net, join.my.channel)
  8. must not refer to "kiddy"-like activity. (e.g. dosing, rooting, "carding," etc.)


Understanding vHosts

  1. The vHost is the part after @, so don't submit a vHost that has a @ because it will fail.
    • Valid: my.new.vhost
    • Invalid: this@my.new.host
  2. 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.
  3. vHosts must then be manually approved.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.new-vhost.got.milk


Once your vHost is approved it can be turned on via:

/msg hostserv on
