 Excessive CPU Run Time/RAM Usage

 With the growing popularity of CGI scripts, problems arise with CGI scripts which consume too much CPU run time and/or RAM. This is true regardless of the amount of system resources. While CGI scripts can create dymanic features on your website, they can also have a detrimental effect on system performance. Poorly written CGI scripts can have infinite loops or other problems which causes them to run non-stop or use as much RAM as possible. It is important that you obtain CGI scripts from these popular free CGI script archives with care. Make sure your code is efficient and operates normally. We will have no problem with any free CGI scripts obtained from the following archives: Matt's Script Archive CGI-World We cannot speak for any other free archives. It is your responsibility to ensure all CGI scripts operate efficiently, so be careful of what free CGI scripts you run on your site! Under circumstances where a script is using as much of the CPU and RAM available, we will disable the program to prevent this from having an adverse effect on the server. If these incidences continue, we will be forced to terminate your account. Additionally, the following types of CGI scripts are prohibited: CGI scripts which upload files from the web to your account. These scripts can be potential security problems. CGI scripts which serve a chatroom applications because they are system resource problems, having to refresh every few seconds for each client in the chatroom.
