[mapserver-users] Mapserver useful for ordinary sites or not?

[Saka Royban]

Hi guys 
After a lot of effort to use CGI mapserver in my own site and finally leaving hope to find a solution, i came here to ask whether maserver is useful just for dedicated servers or VPSs really? 
I (and as it sounds, most of users) have just bought some space from a host provider (i.e Linux) with a CGI-bin directory which as my host provider says is able to run CGI applications written in perl and C/C++.

I have searched a lot but as it appears no one has been successful to run CGI mapserver in its CGI-bin folder. Am i right? CGI mapserver is useful just when shell access is available? Should i switch to Mapscript? Or maybe, buy a windows host with CGI capability?

Your help would nicely be appreciated. I'm really got stuck and confused.

Regards
