You can lock up a server with Perl and Bash. Euphoria's no different.
We allow anything in our customer's cgi-bins as long as they tell us what it
is beforehand so we've chance ot check it out.
To upload anything, it has to be sent via e-mail and uploaded by someone
here - a pain in the @$$, yes, but that's company policy. We use e-mail
because most people just upload pre-written packages and don't really want
to script things themselves.
Ask nicely and we'll consider allowing cgi-bin FTP upload access, but it's
not a sure thing. If we find that something is breaking the server, we kill
*it* not the web-space (We had someone doing that with Perl on one of our
servers yesterday. The systems team is considering putting them back on
e-mail uploads only).

We could do. The servers won't be specifically set up to run Eu though
unless we have a big demand for it. You'd still have to upload/e-mail exu
and the relevant includes yourself.
As for pricing (/me digs out a pricelist): The smallest space we do, 20Mb,
would set you back UKP10 per month, or UKP96 per year (roughly USD14.50 /
USD139.20).
Twist the arms of our sales staff and they might do 10Mb for half that.
IIRC, A cgi-bin is a once off charge of UKP10 (USD14.50), but for some
reason that's not listed on our website at www.legend.net.uk. Hmm... I must
kick the marketing team...
The downsides are, 1: we won't support your scripts, it's up to you to get
them working, and 2: we're UK based, which is not necesarily a bad thing,
but most of you guys aren't).
The upside is we're one of the few ISPs who have someone on staff who knows
what Euphoria is... :)
