SSH is disabled for all free accounts. No exceptions will be made.
Nothing is always absolutely so.

Oh ok. This makes sense. what is SSH for?
Abuse Compliance Officer
SSH is, in a nutshell, command line on the server itself. On free, with the abuse we see, it's simply too high a risk to allow users to use it, especially with the amount of damage that could be caused both intentionally and by accident.

So what your saying is you guys dont enable SSH for free accounts because of the abuse and damage to the host that could be done?

I'm sure measures could be taken to prevent abuse/damage via ssh, but from my understanding at least that's why it's disabled entirely. Rather than risk someone doing damage to the server, it's off completely.
