Well you could also get an account on an actual shared server, where you
had your own login name and password. I remember one such ~20 years ago
used for our company web server, you could list all the other users
"home" folders just with  'ls /home'.

These days while the hardware can still be shared, you can rent your own
VM and put whatever you want on it.
