My Host offers for an extra charge - open cgi-bin. Do I need this to create a GuestBook on my site?
 
There are many different options when it comes to guestbooks -
1. CGI: there are some great guestbooks located here



2. PHP: This is better quality code, usually free, but you need to have php available on your hosting server



3. Remotely Hosted: You can find many different free guestbooks that are hosted on their server (usually with ads)

Hope this helps,

Crispy
 
Your paying for a webhosting and it charges more for the cgi-bin? Or do you have a cgi-bin and the charge to be able to run cgi programs in any directory?

Personally, If I were dealing with a webhosting that charged extra for cgi-bin access, I would look somewhere else.
As was said, there are some options, but there are also alot of webhosting that do NOT charge for cgi-bin access.
