CGI SCRIPTS WITH PERL
 
 

Web Hosting for CGI Scripts

Your web site relies on CGI Scripts - so you need to make sure that your CGI Scripts are installed, working and secure. Sounds simple right? Well, it can be, if you have a web host that can provide the key elements you need.

We provide a superior environment for web sites that use CGI Scripts by including all of the following elements in each of our web hosting plans.

Private cgi-bin directory

A private cgi-bin directory gives you a secure directory in your web hosting account specifically for running your CGI Scripts. The private cgi-bin directory is accessible to only your user account, and is secured so no other users can access your scripting files. In addition, since you own the private cgi-bin directory, you can develop and deploy your own custom CGI scripts on your web site.

If you choose, you can install your CGI Scripts anywhere in your web site. However, we recommend that you use your private cgi-bin folder to maintain security of your CGI scripts.

CGI Scripting Languages

Perl is the most popular CGI scripting language -- but it is not the only language used to develop CGI Scripts. We provide almost every development language you might need for writing your CGI scripts. By default you will have the following languages available:

  • Perl
  • Python
  • C
  • C++
  • PHP
  • Unix Shell Scripts

If you need a different language for your scripts -- please contact us -- in most cases we can install it for you at no cost.

SSH Access Included

SSH access is essential when trying to develop, setup or maintain CGI Scripts. We provide SSH Access to the server with all of our web hosting accounts. Using SSH access you can:

  • Quickly develop and test CGI Scripts: Write your CGI Scripts and test instantly right on the server. We provide all of the most popular and powerful UNIX development tools on our servers. Some of the tools we install include:
    • vi
    • emacs
    • pico
    • gcc
    • perl
    • python
    • gdb
    • make
    • PHP Interpretter
    • Java Development Kit
  • Debug your CGI Scripts: One of the easiest ways to test a CGI script is by running it in a UNIX shell session. Many errors are easy to find when a CGI script is run in the shell.
  • Access to Web Server Logs: Without access to server logs -- it can be impossible to pinpoint problems in your CGI Scripts. That isn't a problem here -- our clients have complete access to the Apache server logs. Looking through the logs allows you to see what errors are occuring in your scripts. Seeing the errors in the server logs is invaluable information while debugging your CGI scripts.

Perl Modules - Installed Free on Request

Chances are, if you need a Perl module for your CGI Scripts, we already have it installed and ready to use. (Check our really, really long list of Perl Modules installed by default to see if the modules you need are installed already.)

If you need a module we don't have already - no problem - we will install it for you at no charge. Just drop a request in our Online Helpdesk and let us know what Perl Modules you need. We will get it installed for you right away.
