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.
