Contextshift looks pretty good, do you use it yourself? Yes. I have had the basic account ('traveller') for some time and no complaints for what it provides. Since then I've migrated to a Linode VPS, but only because I decided it was time I learned about such things ;) Regards, robert_ --

Devio.us looks alright, except the registration is closed on there at the minute. So far, ContextShift looks like the best bet. On 27 July 2012 21:03, Roachy roa...@roachy.net wrote: Devio.us do free shell accounts :-) very stable and useful if you need a US based host (socks proxy, etc)...
