I am newbie and decided to buy shell account for the first time.. after visiting so many sites i found these 2 providers reasonable and meeting my requirements..
1) www.staticnetworks.net
2) www.outlandz.net
outlandz sounds more koooler to me.. . any one have used them?? or any suggestion about their reputation or reliability??
I can confirm that outlandz is ok, they hooked me up in like 15min.
They seem to have good uptime on their servers and they tend to be present in their suport channel on EFnet #outlandz and thats more than I can say about my other shell providers.
So if you want a shell there I suggest you join that channel and have a look for yourself, I think that they have the !uptime comand enabled so you can see the present uptimes on their servers. Oh and the guy in charge is Denny but there is other admins too.
I recently got an acct with StaticNetworks(my first shell acct). Within a minute after I placed the order they called me. They might of been right there doing it anyways. I have 2 bg processes. They seem to be running real well.
