OP wanted far more than 'just hosting'. He wanted CGI and the ability to
run his own encryption.

Okay. I'm trying to remember the secure ftp alternative I used a while ago.
It's just that I set something up using telnet some years ago now, and
much has changed since.
Could you upload c source code files and then compile into an executable
using ssh?

Do checkout JUMBA - I have been using them for 2 years now and find them
reliable.

Incredibly, they have a first class support service - if there is a que
of callers waiting, a message comes up to leave your phone number and
they will ring you back when your turn in the que comes.

And they do it.

Also they respond promptly to emails

Great service and very reasonable hosting prices

David - a happy customer

PS: I am also using GoDaddy, and have been for some years and have been
most pleased with their service - only went with JUMBA because I prefer
an Oz service when available - but glad I did.

That is really weird - I have been using GoDaddy for years and have had
no trouble at all with them - I even get email from State Lotteries!
