Student accounts are intended for academic pursuits. Whether it's learning C, Web Programing, operating systems, or taking an online coarse computer related or not, the intent of this account type is to provide a low cost shell account for students. Because the cost is very low, the resources provided are limited. Background tasks are not permitted.

Economy shell accounts are a low cost general purpose account. There is sufficient space to allow for routing e-mail use, hosting of a modest website, and you can run one eggdrop bot or other small background task.

Standard shell accounts are roughly equivalent to the previous single type of shell account that we offered except that the disk space is no longer time dependent and databases are not included because it's turning out that they are resource intensive.

Secondary shell accounts are deprecated. Existing users that have these can retain them as secondaries as long as they do not allow them to expire. It's become too difficult to enforce a primary-secondary relationship and people are ignoring the requirements. It makes more sense to charge according to resources provided and used than according to relationships. Disk quota will no longer be tied to subscription length.

Power user accounts provide five times as much disk space as a standard account, twice the number of mail lists and IRC bots or other background tasks. This is a good choice for someone running moderately sized online games.

Enterprise accounts include five times as much storage as a power user account, allow ten lists and up to ten light background processes or one heavy background process (something like a graphical MMORPG).

A small background process is one that consumes less than 5% CPU over a one-hour period and less than 15MB core image. A large background process may consume up to 20% CPU over an hour period, and 100MB core image.
