CGI Website Hosting

A CGI is a program designed to accept and return data from a website. A good example of a CGI is when you fill out and submit a form, the data is usually sent to a cgi program that processes the forms and takes action - like emailing the form contents back to the website owner.
In the early days of the internet, the perl programming language was widely used for CGI.
Entire website management suites have been developed in the past using perl.
More recently languages such as C, Perl, Java,or Visual Basic. CGI programming (or scripting) is run on the web server. Some website hosting companies even provide free php scripts with their package. We have prepared this table that shows the best cgi web hosting companies on the internet.
