Our servers have the capability to run CGI scripts based on Perl, and Perl is a our language of choice - it is a world standard and is well suited to CGI. In addition, Perl code does not require manual compilations whereas C/C++ code must be compiled on our Web servers prior to use.

All of our web hosting packages are setup with a Cgi-Bin, if for some reason you don't see one on your site, you may create your own CGI-BIN directory, in order to have a CGI BIN activated all you have to do is create a folder called Cgi-Bin and it will automatically become scripts activated.

What is the function of the CGI-bin directory?

The Cgi-Bin directory is the location within a domain site, where CGI scripts are placed, if you wish to execute them.

What directories may I execute CGI applications from?

The "Cgi-Bin" directory, located in your root directory. You cannot create another Cgi-Bin elsewhere, or your CGI scripts will not function.

Do you provide Technical Support for CGI or Perl?

As a web hosting company, Arizonahost does not provide technical support for CGI/Perl scripts, nor do we provide technical support for other scripting/HTML or design oriented subjects. These subjects take many hours or even years to master and are better handled by the schools, books and magazines
