Nice Hostname

Post by Lu5ck »

Hi all,

I have seen people with nice host name like @.i.am.god or @ssdi.own.you

How do you achieve that?

Regards,

those are called virtual hosts, or vhosts for short, and are usually provided by the company you pay for your shell. Put 'vhosts' into google and do a little reading :wink:

I have a linux server

How do I setup vhost on it?
Is DNS important for vhost?
Will IRC server kick me out for having a vhost that cannot be dns?

Explain "I have a linux server" please.

You have an account? If so simply type "vhosts" in your telnet client and you should get a list (or simply read the login information).

As for DNS the answer is yes and yes (especially for DALnet).
