Looks like their entry-level account ("http://sdf.org/?join";) has a
200MB disk quota, which probably is not enough for a full Racket install
(my Racket 6.0 GNU/Linux install takes 525MB). But their VPS accounts
("http://sdf1.org/index.cgi?vps";) could handle that disk space. Or,
maybe stripping down Racket 6.x to only the packages you need (no
DrRacket, for example) will fit it in 200MB disk.
Also, given that this service offers hardcore techie enthusiast stuff
like TOPS-20 and Genera, they might also want to install Racket for
everyone, if you ask them nicely and point them to "racket-lang.org" and
"htdp.org".
Small virtual memory quotas (like 128MB on their smallest VPS) will
limit what you can do with Racket, but you can still do some stuff with
it. Hopefully you can get all/most of that VM in RAM, or there will be
annoying delays like in any program, but perhaps especially when Racket
does a GC.
Good luck.

Yes, but probably your shell account has too small limits to install
racket.
