:As there are already many lists of various shells providers out there on the net, it might be better to add lists of free shells providers to this site, rather then adding individual providers here, because there are a huge number of individual providers already, and there are already sites devoted to providing up to date lists of these, such as for free providers and the page for commercial providers.

Please do not add any other individual providers without getting permission on this talk page first. There are so many individual providers out there, it will be much more helpful if you can add lists of free shell providers to this site. Thanks! |

== List of Historical free shells == |
|
|
I host unixclan.no-ip.org, which, under various domains (unixclan.net, the1.no-ip.org, etc), has been around for four years and has always been free. It has over 5,000 registered users. |
|
|
|
|
|
Someone edited the link to this site to falsly point to a non-free service: |
|
|
|
|
|
Dren, correctly, removed this link for not being historically free. However, I think that unixclan should qualify. |
|
|
If there are any objections, please reply here. If there are not any, I will add my link back. {{unsigned|Delirium of disorder}} |
|
|
|
|
|
It certainly has not been around for 4 years, and certainly does not have 4,000 registered users. |
|
|
The whois records of the domains that you own show that they have been around for about a year. |

Jack: When I started, I didn't even have any domain name. Users just accessed me through my IP address. I also used a different domain name: the1.no-ip.org previously. unixclan.net also points to my shell server. The previous unixclan.net site was a somewhat different group/service that also offered shells, I was also a leading member of their network. See: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://unixclan.net |
|
|
archive.org does not index sites that are subdomains of the no-ip service so my shell service cannot be accessed through them. As for the number of users. I do admit that I have far more registered users than active users, but this does not make my previous post false. There are currently 6415 valid logins that have been added to my system, feel free to get an account for yourself and check it out! ] 21:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC) |

This archive only goes back 3 years, and that isn't enough to qualify you as historically free. Almost all of the other free providers listed have been around since the 80's and 90's.

Since the user who removed my link has a history of bad edits ( see: http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:12.163.10.190) I plan to add my link back unless further objection is posted here.] 21:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC) |

Removed some non-historical links, objections noted above. -(] 07:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)) |

I've removed the link to Systemshell.net , why? because all evidence gathered from the whois database shows that they have been out there since september |
|
|
2006 and not since 1998 , plus I've checked out there paypal account it exists only since 3 month and they have only one verified buyer (which probably |
|
|
was paypal itself paying them a bonus , I'm talking out of experience because I've a reputation of one buyer as well despite that I didn't sell anything) |
|
|
To be honest , I'm slowly getting the impression that this systemshell.net is basically not a serious business if not even a hoax! |
|
|
not only are they listing themselves on this article as a free historical provider but also do they present wrong and misleading data about their uptime |
|
|
status , the person in charge a mysterious "spfy" would say if asked that his server has been running for 30 days , and that for some strange reason he just had to reboot it today , not knowing that I had been monitoring his service for the last month and the uptime status didn't even exceed 2 -3 days. |

== Outdated links == |
|
|
|
|
|
I can't find any list or voting system on "Mutebox Free Shell List", maybe they changed to be a provider? |
|
|
|
|
|
Also, MLG3 and Shellsnet has closed, so those links should probably be removed. // ] 18:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC) |

] has added ] to the list of shell providers. They are not historical or persistant. The article linked from here has the tone of an advertisement/PR piece. ] 08:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I did add ] to the list of shell providers for a couple of reasons: |
|
|
# "Since a list of current free shell providers keeps getting deleted, this is the best place to list notable providers." - the comment on the page right above the list of free shell providers. |
|
|
# ClueNet is persistent, they have existed for a year or so, and before that, they existed as two seperate free shell providers which existed for several years before they merged to create ClueNet. So, while ClueNet didn't exist under that name for more than a year or so, they have existed under different names for quite a while. |
|
|
# I am sorry if the ] page looks like an advertisement. It wasn't intended to look that way. I will try to fix it. |

I'm sorry for removing it from the list, I couldn't find statistics for how long it existed and the article looked somewhat suspicious. Feel free to improve your article, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! ] 04:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC) |
