cPanel users also have jailshells by default AFAIK.

cPanel has a checkbox in WHM for jailed shells by default. Pretty much jailed shells are user accounts with restricted access set by the server admin. It creates a duplicate of the server's file system by symlink to a specified directory. So if you setup your server to use /usr/jail as your directory, when a user logs in they will see the server the same way as you do when you login but when they change a file like /home/username/file it will actually be changing the file on /usr/jail/home/username/file.

One thing to remember is that if you edit something from the /usr/jail as root, it will edit the actual file too (never do "rm -rf *"on your jailed shell directory as root... what a headache!).

Free VPSs? :s

Right now only 2 in use... but more to come.

Could it run on a pentium 3?

Is it at least 500 mhz?

Yea, but it doesn't support my version of freebsd. :/
