Sorry, I meant CGI is usually available, even with low-end web hosting 
accounts.

I assume so, but don't know. You better read their service agreement 
and levels of service.

They allow not only CGI, but also have SSH (like telnet) and ability to 
compile stuff, run cron jobs, and so forth. A real Unix shell account. 
The only thing you wouldn't be able to do is install stuff that needs 
root privileges.

Not the cheapest, but it's a really great value. If you look at their 
connectivity, and look at the hardware their servers are running, it's 
pretty impressive.

The server I am on (a shared server) is a dual-3Ghz Pentium 4, 2 GB 
RAM, Linux 2.4, journaled filesystem.
