Hello!
I'm planning to buy a basic hosting plan, adding a dedicated IP and Shell access.
I would like shell in order to keep my pages updated by svn (client) and ftp directly from USA servers or decompressing files.
I was wondering if this is possible and what are the limits of the shell!
Thanks for your attention
Lila

Thanks a lot! Actually svn is NOT listed in your disabled command list 
I was thinking about FTP and decompress because I live in Italy and it would be a lot quecker to dowloand from an host directly into my account istead of having the file downloaded to my computer and then uploaded to my account 
Now I will check your CP better, since I remember some CP let people dowload packages and unzip them without any need of shell accounts... and since I'm planning on a two year subscription.. it would be a lot of saving not having to pay for a shell!!!
