Bouncers
A bouncer (BNC) is a way to 'bounce' your connection to the IRC server - so in basic terms you connect to a host and the host connects you to the IRC server. By this you are using another machines IP and not your own. You also can use a 'virtual host' (vhost, also known as 'vanity host') if the host allows, which are the hostnames you see around IRC that look like sentences (i.e. 'this.is.my-leet.vhost.com').
How do I setup a vhost so that my hostname in IRC is for example "this.is.my.vhost.com" like when someone does a whoIS.
