Single Shell Account

Single Shell Account is perfect for running IRC proxy programs or bouncers like Psybnc, ZNC, BNC, and Ezbounce.

With this account, you can hide your real ISP hostname and connect to IRC servers using your own custom vhost.

You’ll get a dedicated static IP, so you can create a unique vhost like: anything.you.want.RisingNet-Domain.

Check out the list of RisingNet domains available for your vhosts here.
If you have your own domain name, you can point it to our RisingNet IP address, and we’ll set up the vhost for you.

Each user is assigned a dedicated static IP and Ident (no shared vhosts or public vhosts).
Your presence stays private, and your connection stays yours.

And to keep you protected around the clock, we include free DDoS mitigation with every account.
