Can anyone recommend a host that offers a shell that is java-op friendly? I'm talking about a shell that you rent out for $X/mo.

I don't know of any, but if you buy some cheap 20$ PII, you can put linux on it and leave it running 24/7 in a closet or something.
The main problem is that most shell hosts place a CPU quota, and JavaOp2 almost always exceeds it. Your best running it on your own computer.

I've looked into this some, there are sites that split this up and offer like cpanel/plesk and do shell type account seperarely the one mentioned above is like this, there are also sites that just bundle it all in as one package here's a few:
http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html
http://www.site5.com/
both of those are high bandwidth high diskpace and offer shell access as well as domain/web features, is a shared environment tho, meaning if an exploit happens and someone can browse the system into places their not ment to be you're data may be @ risk, which is more of an annoyance then anything but keep that in mind..
You can also check out http://www.howtoforge.com/ this site specialises in tutorials for linux especially debian flavored distro's but also get into fedora and centos and suse a bit indepth also.
That would require you having a spare pc and a lil work on you're part tho ;d

I've bought 2 300mhz PII's for 15$ CAD, and they worked great for JavaOp2.
If you have the extra space in your closet/basement, its worth buying one to host JavaOp, considering you don't have to pay a X$/month hosting bill. Although, your electric bill may jump up a few bucks a month, but that still better than 15+$/month.
