Intershells Server Link Application - Version-2.0 - 12/18/2025 by Parrot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS
First you should know,
We are looking for servers with good bandwidth and connectivity, in most
cases hosted and sponsored by ISPs or network operators.
Applications that do not follow these instructions will be ignored!
==========================================================================
Section: Quick Link Eligibility Check List
A. Have you (admin) read and understood the Server Application Guidelines
and believe your server to meet the requirements of linking to INTERSHELLS?
B. Is your server provider-sponsored, or being paid for by you or
your business? Paid servers are allowed, so long as the admin can
convince us it is long term and financially fees able for the admin to
maintain the fees.
C. Are you running some flavor of UNIX? We suggest strongly one of the More Popular forms of Linux, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Mint,
D. Is your server capable of absorbing massive, multi-GBit/second DDoS
attacks? At this point you should have a server that performs proper filtration
and utilizes multiple firewalls.
If you answered No to any of the above questions, do not submit an
application. Do not submit this portion with your application.

g. Server's operating system/version:
h. Server's processor info (type/speed/cores):
i. Server's memory:
