 * Connecting to irc.xertion.org (port 6667)
 * Connected. Now logging in...
 * Welcome to the Xertion IRC Network Kai!
 * Kai sets mode: +x Kai
 * xertion-53f19051.ga.charter.com :is now your displayed host

Now let's say I register the nickname Kai on Xertion using /NickServ REGISTER yourpass youremail (You do NOT have to, but this is to show how you would go about even further protecting your IP address.)

-NickServ- A passcode has been sent to your@email.goes.here, please type /msg NickServ confirm to complete registration

You'll check your email and do as it says. -NickServ- Nickname Kai registered under your account: *kaishiro@*.ga.charter.com
 * NickServ sets mode: +r Kai
 * Kai!kaishiro@xertion-53f19051.ga.charter.com Kai :You are now logged in as Kai

Now let's say I want to make it so "charter.com" is NEVER ever shown to anyone, I can request a vHost to hide that. I simply /HostServ REQUEST I.am.Awesome

Then you wait for an operator to activate it.

-HostServ- Your vHost has been requested. Please wait for an operator to activate it. -HostServ- Your vhost of I.am.Awesome is now activated.

Now people will see "I.am.Awesome" as your IP address. Masking successful? yes. So you see, you're wrong and your point becomes moot.
