CGI-SCRIPTS
Explanation
CGI-BIN - You are allowed to use your own cgi-scripts.
CGI = Common Gateway Interface.
Collection - You can use pre installed scripts by the
free webspace provider (for instance a guestbook).
Counter - The only script you may use is a counter (text
or graphical) script that they have installed.
MsgBoard - The only script you may use is a message board
script that they have installed.
If you don't know what a CGI-BIN is, you most likely wont need
it. CGI scripts are scripts to create more interactive web sites.
Some free hosts will let you use pre installed scripts for your
site. These pre installed scripts could be message boards, guestbooks,
forms, counters etc.
Most free web hosts do not offer CGI-BIN for you to upload
your own scripts due security reasons. If a free host do allow
this, make sure your scripts don't take up too much system
resources or they might remove your account. One example of
a CGI script that free hosts don't allow for this reason is
banner exchange scripts.
