1. Do you include preinstalled cgi-scripts with my account? - Top

    2. Can I compile programs written in C and C++? - Top

    Yes, we offer the standard GCC compiler.

    The C and C++ compilers are integrated. Both process input files through one or more of four stages: preprocessing, compilation, assembly, and linking. Source filename suffixes identify the source language, but which name you use for the compiler governs default assumptions.

     
    3. Can I install my own CGI Scripts? - Top

    Yes. Each account comes fully equipped with its own pre-configured CGI-Bin. Customers are free to use any of the CGI scripts included free with their account or any others they may wish to add to their account. We only monitor for poorly written CGI Scripts, as use of these scripts on high traffic sites may affect the normal functioning of our servers and in turn affect the performance of other web sites hosted on that server.

     
    4. What type of Java support do you offer? - Top

    Currently Java jdk 1.1.5 is installed on all our servers. We support Java applets and not Java servlets.

    6. Formmail Instructions - Top

    This script is one from Matt's Script Archive which we have installed and preconfigured for your domain. FormMail is a generic www form to e-mail gateway, which will parse the results of any form and send them to the specified user. This script has many formatting and functional options, most of which can be specified through the form. This means you don’t need any programming knowledge, nor do you need multiple scripts for multiple forms. This also makes FormMail the perfect system wide solution for allowing users form-based user feedback capabilities without the risks of allowing freedom of CGI access.

    There is only one form field that you must have in your form, for FormMail to work correctly. This is the recipient field. Other hidden configuration fields can also be used to enhance the operation of FormMail on your site.
    The action of your form needs to point towards this script, and the method must be POST in capital letters. Here's an example of the form fields to put in your form:
