Now that I've been with Speedsoft for a long while, I notice that useful new features are constantly being added.
The service is prompt and friendly, the server is always up (unlike my access provider...) and the features that are included, like the SSI's and CGI's, mail forwarding, etc., make the price unbeatable.

Support : CGI Information
CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programs are executables parts of your web site which do things such as handle input from forms or generate pages on the fly. For more information on CGI, see http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/.
All Speedsoft hosting accounts come with their own cgi-bin directory. You can upload your CGI program directly to this directory. If you have an FTP client that can change file protections, set the file protections to 700 in order for these files to be made executable. Otherwise they will not run. If you do not have an FTP client that will do this, you may use please contact support@speedsoft.com to get help setting your cgi-bin files to the correct permission.
To call one of your CGI programs, use http://www.speedsoft.com/yourname/cgi-bin/yourprogram.
or for virtual hosting clients use http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/yourprogram.
