vhost's bnc's for irc

[Nocturnal]

can anyone explain to me how to use them?

i have my own domain, and its hosted through readyhosting.com. i was wondering if its possible to use my domain as a vhost.

or if not, how do i go about getting/using one.

im talking about the stuff like when you /whois a person it shows up as metaphor@is.super.cool.anandtech.com or something.

Add the host is.super.cool.at.atot.com or whatever into your dns configurations. Use the ip address you were allocated by your isp for the ip of that host. Make sure there is no one else doing hosts for that ip (ie a consumer isp or anything), or it will resolve to that instead of yours. Basically you will have to have your own ips and dns servers.

If you talk to shell providers many of them will setup vhosts from your domain on their machines for a small fee.
