Welcome to Blinkenshell! 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.
Blinkenshell is a mature shell provider, the service has been online for over three years (since summer 2006) and there are more than 400 user accounts registered. We're still accepting new members, if you're interested in signing up for an account take a look at the Signup info.
Blinkenshell is built around an online community with friendly and helpful users. 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.

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!
