It is essentially the "behind the scenes" features and functionalities of the website that determine its success and popularity on the World Wide Web. The automated tools and features are instrumental in generating online sales as well as make it easy to use and secure. This type of automation can be created in various ways, but all the processes engage either client side or server side scripting. The user is subjected to a wide variety of programming languages to choose from and these programming languages are used to write scripts. Java is considered one of the best programming languages and customer side scripts are usually written in Java. In order to accomplish certain functions through the scripting on server side, programming languages like PERL, PHP and CGI are used.

While PHP and PERL are rather fresh in the industry, CGI is considered as the mother of all scripting languages and comes equipped with a wide variety of features.

With this use of CGI, companies can create mock-ups of their products - whether architectural or otherwise - and see how they will look and act (within reason) before they are actually made. The software is extremely versatile and powerful, and produces replicas of the desired product that rival photographs in their quality. In fact, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to spot the difference between a photo or artist's representation and a CGI model, such is the detail of the processes used.

Password Protection: Most of the online business websites require that the user log in through their registered username and password. With the application of CGI scripts, the entire registration process and the issue of password and username is automated, thereby making CGI indispensable to the smooth functioning of such websites.

Form Managers: Many websites feature online forms that need to be filled up by the user. Now, most of these online forms are generated and handled by CGI web hosting. When a user fills in that form and hits the "submit" button, a CGI script takes over and transmits the data via email or writes it to a database where the site's administrator is able to access it later.

With my experiences,CGI supports was good. I handled to figure what I wanted for myself. I did not need them really, but none of the review has been completed with any support contacts. I called upon technical supports and was communicating to humans for about 20 secs after dialing. 2 such simple questions are do you execute Linux or Windows and whether do you abide mode_rewrites (Yes) -were answered politely and quickly. I also sent the equivalent questions through mail (nearly at noon) and have got a reply within three hours good on Sunday.

Various web hosts also offer all three: PHP, PERL and CGI and the user has an option of choosing whichever best suits his/her requirement. It is only wise to opt for a web hosting company that is able to offer CGI web hosting along with other features, functionalities and tools that are required for the website to function smoothly.
