NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and prevent others from using it. NickServ is controlled through various commands which allow for registration and maintenance of nicknames.

If a registered nickname is not used for 30 days, the registration will expire and the nickname will be available for anyone to use.

To use a NickServ command, type /ns command.
