Does anybody know of any reasonably priced CGI Access Web hosts that will allow you to create a socket in order to contact the WHOIS Server? I have tried a lot of hosts and so far none of them let me do this. I need this ability to run a domain look up script. I also need this ability to be able to connect to search engine submission pages for a search engine submission script I am going to run on my site. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You
