I see on the basic hosting plan that shell access is available for $2 a month extra. I was considering getting it, but I don't see it listed on my available add-ons page. Is it possible for me to get it after the fact?

Also, the reason I'm considering getting it is for a shoutcast client. I have a shoutcast server elsewhere, but need a way to broadcast to it better. I am currently using a personal linux machine, but would rather have it hosted so I don't have to keep mine running all the time.

Is this possible with a basic account, or am I even allowed to do this? It would simply be relaying it to the server, people wouldn't actually connect to it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I kind of figured I couldn't run a server that with my current plan.

With the added shell access, can I launch applications? Because what I want to run isn't actually a shoutcast server. It's just an application that loads media files and sends them to another server (Which in this case is a shoutcast server). I would not be using it as a shoutcast server.

Thanks
