The basics

What is a vhost?

A host is the part that comes after the @ when you join a channel on IRC. A vHost (aka virtual host) is a feature on NationCHAT that lets users replace their hostmask with a custom host, something a little more creative, hiding their real ISP host.

Custom vhosts are free for every user, are reviewed by the vhost team, and stay with your registered username.

Standard vhost

Don't I already have one?

By default you can hide your real host with a standard vhost, which everyone who owns a registered username gets. This page is for a custom one.

Rules

Eight things it must satisfy.

01Must contain at least two dots (.) characters.
02Must be all in lower-case.
03Do not use special symbols e.g. "%", "&", "$", "#", etc.
04Must not be an IP or look like an IP e.g. 127.0.0.1, etc.
05Must not refer to other networks / spamming.
06Must not mimic any government organizations (*.gov, FVI, *.gc.ca, etc.) or any private organizations which have government affiliations.
07Must not contain bad, racist or forbidden words e.g. "ircop", "admin", "network", "nationchat", etc.
08Do not use vHosts to ban evade. Ban evasion will result in a network ban.

How it works.

The request

How to request a custom vhost

If your custom vHost meets all the rules, first you must have a registered username for at least 3 days. Once that is done, connect to the NationCHAT IRC network and use /msg V request, then follow the instructions.

What changes on your hostmask

Usual hostmask

dude@cool.vhost.bro

Removals

My vhost is gone?

There are various reasons for removal, including abuse, disciplinary action, violation of vHost rules and “housekeeping”. Nick groups containing multiple vHosts may also be randomly merged into one host. Offense durations are:

1st offense

1 month

2nd offense

6 months

3rd offense

1 year

Any user wishing to appeal their ban can do so through the support ticket system or by speaking to a Network Administrator. Report vHost abuse to #help or help@nationchat.org with all essential evidence.
