hosting on my home machine I am not sure of what to do.  I am
planning to set up a site that will be hosted by an ISP, new
members will join through this site but I want to keep the
details of the members as safe as possible and we cannot afford
an expensive set up at the beginning.  I thought there was 2
options: 1) have a separate account with an ISP to store the
details of the members and the CGI routines required to process
them 2) hold those details and CGI routines on a home machine to
which "forms" would be submitted  In option 1, I wonder if I
would have difficulties with the ISP if the routines involve (in
their eyes) too much processing (these routines are written in
pure assembly and are doing only basic validation, the testing
shows that executing them in a loop of 65535 times takes only
milliseconds on my AMD 1600MHz machine). I also wonder how safe
the data would be compare
