CGI Support


United Minds Media  allows you to create dynamic web content through the usage of CGI scripts. Several languages are supported including GNU C, Perl, Java, and the various UNIX Shells. SSI (Server Side Includes) are enabled as well.

Support for additional languages may only be an E-Mail away! If you would like us to provide additional support for languages not mentioned, email support@accountsupport.com and we will review your request.

Usage of CGI functionality constitutes acceptance of the following terms and assertions.

  • The customer will not attempt to bypass the security of the system through the CGI, as to gain unauthorized access to information, resources, or control on the server.
  • The customer's CGI will not use excessive CPU time or create more storage than their disk quota allows.
  • United Minds Media reserves the right to review the source code of the CGI at any time to check for misuse, potential security hazards, or to recommend more efficient and/or alternative implementations. United Minds Media  will NOT copy source code or executables without the customers prior approval. 
  • If you CGI requires compilation (such as those using GNU C) you may direct the request to support@accountsupport.com. We are not obligated to debug your program if it does not compile.
