A thank you to my Web Host

    Since, about, the year 1999 or 2000 I have been using Linux and UNIX based systems. Over those years I have tried several free UNIX shell providers to use for hosting web pages and images.

    At the moment, as you may have already noticed, my current host is a free UNIX shell provider called Blinkenshell.org. Many UNIX shell providers claim to offer free accounts but then force you to donate a pre-determined amount of money to get certain privileges. Usually these privileges are necessary for doing anything useful with UNIX. Despite what you might find elsewhere, Blinkenshell is a great provider of truly free shell accounts. All that is required of a new member is that he passes a short quiz and gets two registered members to vouch for him.

    The community is great. Everyone is willing to help each other out with questions, big or small. Plus members get perks that are only available to more then basic packages at commercial web hosting companies, such as PHP, CGI, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin. If you are one of my friends who are interested take a look at Blinkenshell.org to see what they offer.

Thank You Independence (sysop of Blinkenshell) for the great services!
