OK, try this:

- Finding a web hosting company is easy.
- Finding a web hosting company that allows you to run your own custom 
CGI scripts is harder. I'm not even sure how to do that with Google.
- Finding a web hosting company that allows arbitrary CGI /binaries/ is 
seemingly impossible.

(Apparently many people don't understand what a "CGI binary" is. They 
seem to think that CGI is how /scripts/ talk to a web server, and that 
CGI therefore /must/ be written in Perl or PHP or similar scripting 
languages.)
