You need to know what you are doing is the most
important point. You get what you pay for. Free cgi
scripts usually have no security concerns in them.
Since they are free. I suggest you get an experienced
programmer to custom script what you want and take care
of your security concerns. Our rates are currently
$75/hr. for this kind of work.
