Shell Accounts
Shell accounts are a cheaper and simpler alternative for when all the power and flexibility of a dedicated server are not required. ContextShift shell accounts do provide much more power than most virtual hosting accounts though, with full access to the capabilities of the Linux shell; SSH, Email, IRC, Databases, Web hosting, several programming languages, and much more.

The Small Print
- [*] Basically, resource use (other than disk space) is unmetered, but excessive use (defined such that it is interfering with other users) is not permitted. See our Shell Fair Use Policy for details.
- Data stored in shell accounts is backed up daily, and kept for a minimum of 28 days. This is done on a best effort basis. The backups are kept in a different physical location to the Shell account.
- HTTPS hosting is available, but requires a dedicated IP. Contact Support for pricing.
- Minimum Subscription period is 3 months, except Traveller and Shell-100, where minimum subscription is 1 year.
- Yearly payment deal: 12 months for the price of 10.
