Blinkenshell - Free UNIX Shell Accounts!

Translations: Start/FRFrançais - Start/SVSvenska - Start/DEDeutsch - Start/SRSerbian - Start/FISuomi - Start/RU Pусский язык

Hi there, and welcome to Blinkenshell.org! This is a free UNIX shell provider. Here you can get your own personal shell account on a Linux Server for free! The only requirements is that you actively participate in our community and follow the rules and guidelines.

Blinkenshell is an online community with helpful and friendly users who are curious to learn more about interesting technologies and computers. You can read more about Blinkenshell and it's history here: About Blinkenshell.

This is a great place to be if you are looking for somewhere to learn more about UNIX, networking, programming or meet other people with similar interests as yours. Many people use the shell to run a screened irssi (IRC client) or host a webpage for example. For some other common usage scenarios of a shell account, take a look here: UsageScenarios.

Blinkenshell is a mature shell provider, the service has been online for over two years and there are more than 300 user accounts registered. We're still accepting new members of course, if you're interested in signing up for an account take a look at the Signup Info.

Keep in mind that the server is located in my basement and is not intended for any commercial use. It doesn't cost anything to use and does not provide any guaranteed uptime, availability, quality of service or any warranty. This is a hobby project!

If you have any questions or just want to talk to us, come on in and join our chat room! (IRC: #blinkenshell @ irc.allshells.net)
