You don't need the extra hassle of managing a host without Linux OS and a shell to it (sorry I sound strong-minded but this is my experience - I dealt with "my host does not allow me" problems for as long as the host was for free - and thank them for that). There are lots of hosting sites with 5euros per month (OK performance, for me at least), forget cpanel and web-management. ssh to your site, ftp your site into it, cpanm all the packages you need, set-up nginx or apache as your web-server, install any database you need and go. Fair enough it needs some skills but invest in the skills now if you feel comfortable with these kind of skills.

and the proximity now to Christmas

Christmas is cancelled, let's hope only for this year

    sorry I sound strong-minded

    Strong minded is good! And...
    Actually I probably have all the access I need. I certainly have FTP and SFTP because that's how I develop with WinSCP updating server side files from a local copy.

    I also have SSH but the only thing I ever use it for is to connect with PuTTY and run top if I suspect that a script hasn't finished when expected.

    Looks like I'm going to have to brush up on Linux - most of my professional IT life was spend in a Windows environment (XP and 2002 R2) but 20 years ago I did some AIX work. For the last decade I have been entirely amateur WRT IT running businesses totally unrelated to IT.

    Christmas is cancelled

    I wish...I have meetings all day with various parts of my team discussing Christmas investor relations and Christmas marketing campaigns!
