virtual Avenue does support cgi scripts but it had one flaw, it doesnt allow LINKS 2.o to verify the links.

Go to www.virtualave.net

Good luck,
Guy

my vote goes to Virtual Avenue too...
they support sendmail etc too, and if you dont count "verify links" problem, you get no problem with them at all.

Why don't you just go wit hypermart, they only have like 10 megs less, but they have most perl modules unlike virtual ave, which is the reason the nph-verify script doesn't work.

Bmxer, how do you have those Top Stock Quotes on your page, do you pull them with some software or is it entered manualy... and the same for the Inside News section.?

I pull the stocks by a script that i made. I have stocks being pulled from other sites including altavista, quicken, and hotbot. And i also made that stock search, which is probably out of date and not working right.

I did the news by signing up with www.lifelinenews.net. They're free and they basically have news harvesting that allows it to be on your site.

Recently (last couple of days) hypermart expanded it to 20mb.
