Shell account

(Redirected from Shell)
A shell account is a personal account on that gives a user access to a Unix shell on a remote server, usually accessed through SSH (and historically telnet). A shell account can be used for many different purposes because you can run many different programs on the shell. It might be used to try out another operating system, running IRC clients or bots, compile and run source code and scripts, to host websites, or to use e-mail services. It might be possible to run programs on the server even while not connected, using background jobs or programs such as the GNU screen terminal multiplexer.
