Re^2: WEB host for Perl/CGI based site

Thanks Moritz,
What I need is to run a perl script to process data file before showing results, which takes time.
Why do you think I need buy a server for myself?
If I take one, say what yahoo suggest, can I be free to create my directory system and can I run perl/cgi if they say it is supported.
Do you know if host's admin has typically an access to my data?

Well, if you don't control physical access to your server, the data isn't safe. Do you know if host's admin has typically an access to my data? Typically the admin has access to all of your data, if he wants to. Even if he doesn't have by default, he can gain access to it far too easy. That's OK if you want to host a private bulletin board, but not if you have a lawyer's data on your server.	[reply]
