Our base CGI language support on Deluxe and Premium Linux shared hosting includes the following:

  • PERL (v 5.8.0)
  • PHP (v 4.3.11 & 5.1.2)
  • Python (v 2.3 & 2.4)

Applications written in a compiled language such as C++ are not supported unless the applications are compiled specifically to run under the Linux operating system.

Our shared hosting accounts no longer support Ruby as of Jan. 23, 2014.

NOTE: Only Classic Hosting (more info) accounts purchased before July 11, 2011 support Java, and only if they had Java enabled on that date and never disable it.
