Linux Shells
Our Traditional Shell Account
A shell account provides you with access to the best resources to use the Internet from a single service. You simply need access to the net, eg from home, work or school to take advantage of our service.
Accounts provide the facility to run programs (such as IRC bots, clients etc) on the Internet 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Also included is up to 250MB of webspace with all the latest technologies supported (such as PHP4, SSI's). You can also read, filter and check your email from your account.
From every account you have access to a large variety of compilers to develop your own software, CGI's or scripts. Your own Linux shell account is perfect for remote Internet access, running bots, webspace, database access and so on. Data transfer is allocated based on account type. If you exceed this then you can discontinue your account until the next month, pay 2 pence per MB, or purchase blocks of 1,000MB or 10,000MB in advance.

UKShells.co.uk Domain Name Prices
All prices include VAT, are subject to change and are payable in advance. Subject to Terms & Conditions. Prices shown in US$ are an approximate guide only and will vary dependant on exchange rates and other bank charges. All .uk domain names purchased through, or managed by, our TAG are subject to the Nominet Terms & Conditions.
Please note that due to restrictions and policies placed by IRC servers it may not always be possible for an account to connect to a specific IRC network. We make every effort to ensure that you can connect as widely as possible by providing "vhost" addresses for all customers, along with the facility to have your own private IP address and "vhost". It is important to note that you must follow the policies of any IRC server you connect to - if a server prohibits bots then you may not use our accounts to connect bots to that server.
We are aware of connection problems to IRCnet specifically.
