How to create a IRC Vhost:
Only registered nicks will be able to request a vhost and it requires that IRC services is up.
Vhosts are reserved for users already on the wug that would like access to services requiring valid DNS details.
- Make sure that you have registered your nick.
- Make sure your WIND details are up to date. (These will be checked randomly)
- In your irc client type /msg hostserv request $vhost.external.ctwug.za.net (eg. idontwanttofixmydns.external.ctwug.za.net)
- Contact your local friendly IRC oper to approve the request.
How to register your Nickname on IRC
- Type in /msg nickserv register your_new_password youremail@example.net
- follow validation commands given
Things to note:
- If you are on the wug and you have/will not update your DNS, then don't bother requesting a vhost.
- Exception banning on the #channel is preferred to vhosts
