I've been with them for a little over 7 years. Their support is very responsive, and will provide an appropriately technical response to a technical question. I occasionally use my shell account when I'm on the road (hotel wifi, coffee shop, etc) for an SSH tunnel. While you're technically not supposed to do that, they've never complained. I use my shell account to do things like keep track of my home WAN DHCP address by writing a small file, and while that's also technically probably not something they want me doing (they're a web hosting provider, not a shell script provider) they've never mentioned it.</div>

There have been times when I want to use the python/shell commands to fetch the membership list, add/remove people, etc. All in all, that's a pretty minor inconvenience.</div>
