An account shell is a personal account that gives access to a Unix shell on another computer, usually via ssh (historically telnet.) With a shell account you can access in a remote server and execute commands on it. It`s very useful when you want to try another operating system, to host a website, or to use some electronic mail services. Some of these sites give you the possibility to run IRC robot as Eggdrop. The most of this servers allow the users to connect at any time 24 / 7.

Happy hacking! (-:
