I just change my hosting to site5. I was looking some times until I can use drush on shared hoting, so I think would be useful to share some experience :)
so installing drush on site5
- you must have enable ssh
- you need some soft: I use putty
- after you connect to you hosting just download an un-tar drush using wget and tar (outside your drupal directory)
- edit your alias in .profile (logout/login and check your drush is working - is working!)
but, after a while I have issues regarding php limit memory ....
- create a copy of your php.ini (cp /usr/local/lib.php,ini path/to/php.ini), change/edit the memory limit (I increase memory to 128M), then edit .htaccess and add this line SuPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/pathto/php.ini - now drupal have 128M, but drush still use the default php.ini and of course the old php memory limit. So you just need to tell drush to use the new php.ini in .profile (alias drush='php -c /path/to/php.ini php /path/to/drush.php')
That's all! Have fun ;)

Thanks!
Thanks for writing this up!
We also will be pushing an update out this coming week to our default PHP.ini to increase memory as well on the default ini.
Also, if you need Bash instead of Jail Shell you just need to email support to request it. We just ask for a little more info for security reasons.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Thanks, Ben
