Free
CGI Resources
In this section, We take a look at free services
that allow you to easily add CGI (Common Gateway
Interface) content to your Web site.
CGI has many uses, including offering you the
ability to add dynamic and interactive content to
your Web pages. The only drawback to CGI content is
that it is usually a complex task to implement such
scripts on your Web server. (In fact, many
free Web hosters don't even give you the
option of adding CGI content).
However, the free services below allow anyone (even
newbies) the ability to easily add CGI resources to
a Web site, usually by simply filling out a series
of forms). The services we review offer remote CGI
hosting, which means that you don't even have to
configure the necessary scripts on your server.
Please send us
E-mail if you're aware of any similar free
resources that we haven't listed below, or if you
find dead or expired links.
