In my opinion, no shell access means no realistic possibility of using 
Mapserver.  Ask your host how much co-location of your own Linux box would 
cost.  I pay $600/yr and consider it the only way to go.  Of course, you 
must educate yourself in Linux, then Apache, then finally MapServer.   This 
is a path not to be taken by those who give up easily.
