I use Ultimate Bulletin Board and need a host that support cgi-bin for that.

I heard that virtualave.net and hypermart don't support ubb and can delete the files.

I'm not sure about f2s.com

Would be great with a host with much space, no banners, but I can't ask for too much when it's free...gary

they don't have ads :)

That's bull. Virtualave and Hypermart both support any kind of CGI script. I have used both UBB and anti-leech scripts perfectly on virtualave.net when my gaming site was on there.

Thank you coolguy23. Interesting. I will try these.

Is there anyone that got experience from another free cgi-host?


You can never have enough of hosts if they're down. Just change the redirector to another host.

mrpaul: What [I think] he meant was that HyperMart/VirtualAve delete UBBs because they're server hogs. I've got some really nasty letters from them for using UBBs on their servers.
