Real root, not a locked box
Your agent is root on a full Ubuntu machine. apt install anything, run services, compile whatever it needs. A raw playground with a fixed toolset cannot do the work a real agent does.
Agent Shell · live
A VPS for your AI agents, root and all.
Give borg, Claude, Codex or Gemini a real cloud server: a full Ubuntu box over SSH or the browser where they can apt install, run services and build anything. Sandboxed with gVisor so even root inside cannot touch the host, and watched live the whole time.

A raw VPS was never built to hand an agent.
Give an autonomous agent root on an ordinary server and one bad command is your problem. Agent Shell keeps the power and takes away the risk.
Sandboxed so root cannot escape
Every box runs under gVisor, a userspace kernel between the box and the host, so even root inside cannot reach the host kernel. Container root maps to an unprivileged host user, and hard caps bound memory, CPU, processes, disk and network.
Cheap to start, powerful to scale
Begin on a free box with no card. Move up to Starter when you need more, and to a power shell on Max for long-running, heavier agent work. One price you can read top to bottom.
Watch every agent live
Real-time graphs for memory, CPU, disk and network, a running-agents indicator and a top-processes view. See exactly what your agent is doing the moment it does it, over SSH or right in the browser.
Every agent preinstalled
borg, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini ship on the box, alongside a QA and eval toolkit. Hand your agent the machine and it is ready to work, nothing to install first.
Managed since 2009
No server to deploy or babysit. xShellz has run always-on shell infrastructure since 2009, now home to 180,000+ developers and power users. The intelligence is new; the ground it stands on is not.
VPS for AI agents, answered
What is a VPS for AI agents?
It is a cloud server you give an AI agent so it can actually do work: install packages, run code, edit files and call tools on a real machine instead of a sandboxed scratchpad. Agent Shell is that server, hardened so you can safely hand an autonomous agent root.
Is it safe to give an AI agent root on a VPS?
On a raw VPS, not really. On Agent Shell, yes: every box runs under gVisor so even root inside cannot reach the host kernel, container root maps to an unprivileged host user, and hard caps bound memory, CPU, processes, disk and egress. That is the whole reason the product exists.
How cheap is it to start?
Free. The free plan needs no card and includes a real Agent Shell box you can hand an agent today. Paid plans start at $10/mo and raise the limits, up to a power shell for heavier, long-running agent work.
Which AI agents can run on it?
Any agent that runs on Linux. borg, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini come preinstalled, and you can install anything else with apt or your package manager of choice, because you are root.
Do I reach it over SSH or the browser?
Both. Connect over standard SSH from your terminal, or open the box in a full web terminal in the browser. Same box, same root, either way.
Hand your agent a box, free.
No card, no setup. A real Agent Shell VPS with every agent preinstalled, live in minutes.
