David,
It is my understanding that the shellworld admin has personal reasons for not allowing the creation of new accounts. His father was profoundly ill for some time as an example. The last time I sent a perspective client in their direction, I was told that unless the person is rather self sufficient, they were unlikely to create anything new for them.
granted contacting the admin,
admin at shellworld dot net,
would be far more direct than seeking marketing information on the web.

I wonder how long shellworld has to live. I completely failed to find any current marketing page for it, and people have said, here, that they have failed to get accounts created.

The Wayback Machine suggests that it hasn't been marketed for over ten years, although it does seem to have been intended as a blind users' system, rather than a power users' one. The last page captured that wasn't empty or invalid seems to be October 2007, and it was blank by December that year.

I assume they are not taking on new users and will close when the number remaining drops sufficiently.
