Registering your nickname
Type the following commands to register your nickname:
/msg NickServ REGISTER password valid@email.address
The email address must be a valid email address you can use, and password must be a valid password (i.e., it cannot be your nickname or less than 5 characters long).
Mibbit Users: Creating an account at Mibbit does not mean that you have registered on Xertion. Nick registration on Xertion is completely different and not affiliated with Mibbit in any way.- After issuing that command, an email will be sent with a confirmation code to your email address. Copy and paste the codes within 24 hours from your email address you just registered to complete the registration process; otherwise the nick will be available for others to register:
/msg NickServ CONFIRM ConfirmationCodeFromEmail
Now that you have registered your nickname, you can request a vHost or register a channel.
Identifying your nickname
Now that you have registered your nickname, it is very important to remember to identify EVERY TIME you access Xertion. The password in this case is the password you supplied during nick registration.
- Usage: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password
- Example: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY mypass
Troubleshooting
Wrong Email
If you entered a wrong email address in your nick registration, you can issue the following command and then re-register your nickname:
/msg NickServ CANCEL password
(Where password is the password you used to register your nick before.)
Lost Password
Expired Nick
Registered nicks will expire after 60 days of inactivity; i.e., you must IDENTIFY the nickname before the expiration date:
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password
(Where password is the password you used to register your nick before.)
