Apart from the fact their Terms and Conditions explicitly state that
don't allow that

"(Our) definition of a background process would be any process that is
detached/nohup'd and stays running after you log out. Example:
starting screen, starting irssi and logging out. Not cool. HOWEVER,
note that we do not have a problem with you running screen with
multiple windows, while staying connected to our servers. We are not
crazy overlords and want you to be able to work in peace."
