Think of a shell account as a Windows Command Prompt on a remote computer.

Shell accounts are accounts on a remote computer. Typically they are limited so you do not have total contol over the computer. Usually they are on a Unix or Linux system. They used to come with your account at most ISPs. Now they are the exception rather than the rule.

Some places sell just shell access. Check out Google's directory for some links and info.
