A free shell provider usually provides a few megs free space for something, there is actually not much you can do with these. Some provide webspace but it is recommended to choose a free webspace provider (from the [Free Webspace] section, as these providers give you more space and better bandwidth. Rights to run CGI scrips are not provided by free shell providers usually.
