barwen.ch provides very low capacity shell accounts.
You get:
- storage: 500 megabytes per user
- network: 500 megabytes of data transfer per month (burstable and averaged over the whole month)
- cpu: you can’t hog the CPU… but there is usually plenty to go around if you’re just running daemons and interactive processes
You can use it if you want to keep a screen session with chat clients, or ping hosts, or run small robots and daemons and cron jobs and CGIs, or plot mrtg graphs, or host a small blog, or … whatever …
Some of the services, protocols and programs available on barwen.ch:
- ssh – including tunnelling and alternative ways to connect
- email (inbound and outbound)
- secondary DNS hosting
- webserver – including cgi-bin, PHP and virtual hosts
- ipv6 – including one personal vhost IPv6 address per user
- eggdrop IRC bot
- web-based terminal access
What you don’t get:
- attentive and prompt technical support
- anything like the capacity you’d get on your own VPS
