Blinkenshell is a mature shell provider, the service has been online for over four years (since summer 2006) and there are more than 300 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.

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!
