VHost

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.---

1. No IP vhosts, or IP look-a-likes.
2. No resolving vhosts. (basically means no vhosts that point to an IP, e.g. google.com, rizon.net, etc.)
3. No vhosts that mimic government organizations. (e.g. *.gov, *.gc.ca, FBI, etc.) / No impersonating private organizations which have government affiliation (MPAA, RIAA, etc.)
4. No vhosts that contain the words forum, ircop, admin, network, or any IRCop's nick.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. No racist words. *Note - What is considered racist/derogatory is subject to discretion by vhost team members
8. No references to other networks/spamming. (e.g. come.to.irc.blahblahblah.net, join.my.channel)
9. No references to "kiddy"-like activity. (e.g. dosing, rooting, "carding," etc.)

Also Note:

1. 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

1. your vhost must contain a dot (aka . )
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.

Requesting a vHost

Please note that you must have a registered nickname in order to request a vhost. In order to register your nickname, please visit Register your nickname

When you request your vHost, it will 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
