GlowHost offers jailshell for shared hosting customers. Dedicated servers come with bash.

The difference between the two is bash allows full system control. Jailshell provides users a limited privilege to ssh into their own home directory and manage all the files under their cPanel user's ownership.

If your account is on a shared server, for security measures, we cannot provide you bash.

Jailshell will read .bashrc, .bash_profile under your home directory. You can run most of the linux commands to manage your account. You have limited ability or no ability to compile, or make any server-wide installations or changes.

If you would like SSH enabled on a shared account, please contact our helpdesk. Dedicated servers have SSH enabled by default.
