How can I get SSH/Shell access on my account?Solution
Please fax or email us a copy of your drivers license, passport, or any valid government issue photo ID to (801) 765-1992 or to support@bluehost.com. Please be sure to include your domain name with the submission so we know what account to reference.

The search goes on…

I’ve exceeded my sodium allowance for the year with the reviews. Sheesh, everyone I checked was ranked “#1″ by someplace, who in turn seemed to rank ‘em by how many ads ran at the ranking “authority”.
But a Drivers License to get ssh access just tore it.
But I guess terrorists encrypt stuff. So do perfectly average folks that just want to be left alone.
