I use a web hosting company that does not allow shell access. I have found that if you create a development environment that is identical to production, your need for shell access is not really necessary. For example, in my current job, every production problem I have had was reporducable in development. Fix the issue in dev, migrate to prod, and it's fixed. Yes, I have a dev web server running at home for my personal web site. I make it work here, then migrate to prod. I haven't had shell access in almost a year, and don't miss it.
