I am looking for a shell account that I can run ZNC on somewhere. I
just need it so I can connect to freenode while im on the road. I have
googled for some free shell accounts but have not come up with much
that will allow me to run znc.

any ideas?

rdlBNC offers some really nice free ZNC bouncers. http://rdlbnc.com/

I've used it and can say that it's really great.

I ran across [Shellmix](http://shellmix.com) a while back. It is a
free shell service and has znc installed and usable by free accounts.
Though I will say I can't personally attest to how well the
service/system is as I've only logged on a few times (as I have a pay
shell that I normally use).

devio.us is good! Good people and a sweet IRC channel too!

I thought they didn't like it to be used as a ZNC?

They don't mind. They even have ZNC installed.

But they prefer if you don't get your shell *JUST* to run ZNC, though
:) They want you to achieve cool things with it (Like code!)

If you have a box somewhere that's always on (e.g. at your permanent
residence), then you can install ZNC on there and do some port
forwarding.  There are a couple free shell/bnc providers floating
around, but I don't know the specifics.  Good luck!

Get an AWS account - and use their free Dev tier:
http://aws.amazon.com/free/

Setup your own micro node and go for it.

It goes down quite a bit for me, and you cant do cron, so you have to
log into ssh each time and restart your bouncer.
