Is there a free web host that will allow cgi scripts?

**imacomputerhater** · 01-28-2008 06:19 PM

Im looking for a way to test my CGI scripts. I would like to do so without spending any money.

Essentially, I need a free web host, that also allows CGI scripts(without upgrading to premium) and also a free domain name. A site like freewebs is just fine, except that it didn't do the cgi script without the premium option.

Either this, or is there another way to test cgi files possibly locally...?

hi, i'm not aware of any free hosts that provide cgi, however if you don't find one you can go for your own test environment which may give you more understanding of what goes on behind the scenes when you are coding: apache for windows, perl/php and mysql

Mate, I would suggest you please do avoid the free and unlimited plans though you want to run CGI scripts. Search for good and reliable paid host who will allow you to run CGI Scripts with cheap prices but do not go for free host. As per my experience 24HostingNow would work good for you.
