A lot of good free web hosts offer a range of scripts that can be built in to your site and it may be a good idea to make use of them if they don't support custom CGI scripts on their server. Of course, the free-hosted scripts are only useful if you don't mind them advertising on the pages they create or you aren't too fussy about the look of the page.
