As far as I know the shell business is still pretty busy. I have a shell<br>
with <a href="http://www.reverse.net/">http://www.reverse.net/</a>, and they're really stable and<br>
have a great network with awesome DoS protection. His site doesn't<br>
specifically say that he allows something like `xmppd`, but I'm sure<br>
if I talked to him he wouldn't have a problem, as it's probably far less<br>
resource intensive than IRC.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/31/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Hal Rottenberg</b> <<a href="mailto:halr9000@gmail.com">halr9000@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>system root, and you do not even have read access to files outside of<br>your jailed filesystem.<br><br>But note this won't work on typical webhosting account. These will<br>usually not allow any inbound ports aside from 21,22,25,80,110,443.
