a "vhost" is either a vanity host, or a virtual host.
on a place like IRC, vhost usually refers to a vanity host.
vanity hosts are domains that usually make up some sort of sentence, such as:
did.time.for.illegal-warez.net
these kind of hosts show up when a person on IRC searches for your username.
usually, one would have some kind of generic host provided by your ISP, or possibly your actual IP if the IRC server you're on fails to do a reverse dns on your IP.
most shell services provide options to include vhosts like this, since most either control an uplink or host a dns server, or both.
those who create such vhosts often use domain suffixes (such as .com, .net, and .org, but more commonly more obscure ones such as country suffixes and stuff like .name) as part of the actual made by the domain, such as:
uses.a.fake.host.name
a list of country TLD's, or top level domains (domain suffixes) can be found at:
ana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm
Now that i'm writing this definition, the word virtual host reminds me of a feature just about every commercial webhosting company provides, which i believe is the ability to host more than one website on the server.

Get the Li’vhost mug.Stands for "Version Originale Sous-Titrée en FRançais" which means "original version (i.e. not dubbed) with French subtitles".
Often added to video file names.
Sometimes you can also see "VOSTFrench", probably to make it clearer for non-Frenchmen.
Just "VOST" can also be used if it's clear that they're French subtitles (and not for example English subtitles which would be "VOSTA": "Version Originale Sous-Titrée en Anglais").
In French movie theaters usually only "VO" (original version) is written to say that the movie isn't dubbed, since it's obvious that there are French subtitles. This is opposed to movies in "VF" ("version française", French version) which are dubbed.

Get the VOSTFR mug.When you are on a virtual platform, let say a meeting or a conference, and someone enters your space to chat with you, or to see your booth, and you reach out to them, and they ghost you virtually= Vosting.
When you go to conferences now, they used to be live events, however, they are almost all virtual events. People enter virtually into your virtual exhibit hall, and your virtual booth to chat or talk with you. A lot of times, they enter, and you are forced to say "hi, how are you, what can I do for you today, let me tell you about our service or product", and then they just sit there, virtually, and eventually they disappear. Virtually ghosting you. Vosting.

Captain Vostrikov was the commander of the Soviet submarine K-19. He raced against time to prevent a Chernobyl-like nuclear disaster which threatened not only the lives of his crew, but had the potential to ignite a world war between the super powers.

Captain Polenin: Lieutenant Yashim is the best reactor officer in the navy. He's never been drunk on duty before. We need him Captain, I urge you to reconsider.
Captain Vostrikov: I want this boat out of dry dock. Sea trials begin in 2 weeks.
Captain Polenin: The boat isn't ready Captain. The problem is Moscow. They organize party V.I.P tours, but were stuck with incompetent yard crews and deffective parts.
