vHost policy
vHost (Virtual host) allows users to hide their hostmask (ie. Rizon-AB252A-rogers.com) with something creative (ie. host.like.this). The nickname must be registered in order to request a vhost.
All users requesting vHost or with vHost must abide by these rules.
---vHost Policy.---
- No IP vhosts, or IP look-a-likes.
- No resolving vhosts. (basically means no vhosts that point to an IP, e.g. google.com, rizon.net, etc.)
- No vhosts that mimic government organizations. (e.g. *.gov, *.gc.ca, FBI, etc.) / No impersonating private organizations which have government affiliation (MPAA, RIAA, etc.)
- No vhosts that contain the words forum, ircop, admin, network, or any IRCop's nick.
- 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.
- No racist words. *Note - What is considered racist/derogatory is subject to discretion by vhost team members
- No references to other networks/spamming. (e.g. come.to.irc.blahblahblah.net, join.my.channel)
- No references to "kiddy"-like activity. (e.g. dosing, rooting, "carding," etc.)
Also Note:
- vhost is the part after @, so don't submit a vhost that has a @ or it will fail.
- Valid: my.new.vhost
- Invalid: this@my.new.host
- your vhost must contain a dot (aka . )
- 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.

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