Nickname Registration

Welcome to HybridIRC's nickname registration page. Registering a nickname is completely FREE. Registering your nickname means that no one on the entire server, regardless of the channel, can use your nickname except for you. To ensure that only you can use the nickname, you will need to choose a password that identifies you. However, if you do not use it within a year, your nickname will expire and be released. When this happens, any channel access you have, including any channels you own under that nickname, will be lost or automatically transferred to the first successor channel, if one exists.

In addition to protecting your nickname from unauthorized use, NickServ allows you to save settings for things like channels and other services. Registering your nickname also enables you to send offline messages to other registered users and receive messages or memos while offline.

You will also be able to upload an avatar via KiwiIRC, enhancing your identity on the network. This feature allows you to personalize your profile, making your interactions more engaging and unique.

Before registrating a nickname

  • Choose a nick, make sure the nick you specified shouldn't be registered by anyone else.
  • Create a strong password you can actually remember.
  • Please use your valid e-mail address to verification your registration.
  • We don't allow disposable/temporary e-mail addresses.
  • Your e-mail address will not be visible to other users.
  • Nicknames will expire after 365 days, if it is not used and identified to for that long.

To register a nickname, follow these steps:
  1. Check your nickname is available to register:
    Please make sure the nickname you are trying to register is not already registered or in use. You may use the /msg NickServ info <nickname> command to check.
  2. Register your nickname:
    Issue the registration command: /msg NickServ register <password> <e-mail>
  3. Verify your e-mail address:
    Verify the registration by following the link sent to your e-mail address.

Note that, after completion of the nickname registration process, your nickname will be temporarily registered. Then, you will recieve an e-mail to complete your nickname registration from "HybridIRC Network Services" just follow e-mail instructions.

Please make sure you check your e-mail account's junk or spam folder, just in case our e-mail landed there. If it is in there, please remember to mark it Not junk/spam. If you do not see the activation e-mail on your inbox.

If you do not complete the registration within 24 hours, the nickname will be automatically released and again become available for registration.

Please allow at least 15 minutes for the e-mail to be delivered. If you do not receive the e-mail, please contact a server operator.


Logging in: Identifying Your Nickname

Once you have registered your nickname with NickServ, you must log in (also known as "identifying") each time you connect to IRC to verify your identity.

To identify, use one of the following methods:

  1. Using NickServ Command:
    • /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>

    Replace <password> with the password you set when registering your nickname.

  2. Using SASL Authentication:

    3. If your IRC client supports SASL authentication, you can configure it to automatically log in when connecting to the server. This eliminates the need to manually identify each time.

  3. Using a Web-Based IRC Client:

    4. If you are connecting via a web-based IRC client such as KiwiIRC, TheLounge or gamja, simply enter your nickname and password in the login prompt when connecting.

By identifying successfully, you ensure that you retain control over your registered nickname and any associated privileges.
