| Free tier | a shell account on a Debian 13 host with 200 processes or threads, 1024 MB soft and 1536 MB hard storage, 1 GiB of /tmp, and a 250 MB mailbox unit MB; metered on stored-bytes; the site states 'will always be free to use'; no price appears |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Limits | - request-rate (binding) 200 processes/threads at a time source
- volume-quota 1024 MB soft, 1536 MB hard on home storage; 1 GiB /tmp with 100,000 inodes source
- volume-quota 250 MB mailbox source
No idle-expiry policy appears on the terms, privacy or code-of-conduct pages, so the first thing that binds is the 200-process cap and the 1.5 GiB home, not the clock; an absence of a stated reaper is recorded as absence, not as a promise. |
|---|
| Binding | request-rate 200 processes is generous for scripts and fatal for anything that forks per connection; the 1.5 GB disk binds second. |
|---|
| Identity | email the form asks for a username, an email address and confirmation, a sentence on what interests you, and an OpenSSH public key, plus an age declaration of at least 16. No card and no phone. Approval is manual: 'fill out this form and i'll get back to you with your account informations.' |
|---|
| Egress | not published on the pages read |
|---|
| Retention | files in /tmp are temporary and may be removed after 10 days of inactivity; home storage has no published expiry |
|---|
| Interface | ssh inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed |
|---|
| Tooling | not stated |
|---|
| Composes with | A shell with mosh and a mailbox is the cheapest place to hold a key, a bouncer or a cron that does not need a public port; the operator also runs a DoH resolver, a ntfy instance and a gitea on the same account, which is a free notification path for a job running elsewhere. |
|---|
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
|---|
| Notes | The best-documented small shell: the process ceiling is published, which is unusual. No public port allowance is stated, so it is a client-side host, not a server. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented quota and process limits quoted from the site's own help page; signup fields from the form itself, both read. |
