Hey guys!

Since I don't wanna spend too much money for my personal webspace, I have rather few services available. Own CGI-files are not permitted.

Do you guys know of any site/provider who allows to use your own CGI-files for free? This way I'd be able to construct my needed web-forms and use that CGI-file for executing the "send-form" button.

Any tips? Laughing out loud

Well I don't know too much about CGI at all, but I do know that a lot of hosts that support cgi do not support the sendmail option because of spam. To answer your question:

Check out:

And see if you find anything you like, if you don't find anything, come back here and I'll go try to find something for you. Smiling

you may try this website. they don't allow you to use ur own scripts, but they have these scripts available to use for free, and they don't put any ads on your pages.

Welcome to the board. However, prohosting doesn't allow the sendmail option, and that's one of the best ones you can use..

Hypermart.net allows CGI-BIN and Sendmail (or is it qmail?)
I used them for over a year with no problem
They offer free hosting with pop-ups or inline ads, or you can buy the ads off or $99 a year.
They were down 2 times during the 1 year and 2 months I used them... reliable.
Incredible tech support if you get the ads taken off, and its still good even if you dont.
Check it out!
