most have to make money somehow, i am using a shared host which is hosted by a friend for my gemini server which i pay a bit for as well, that works quite well (and its cheaper than cloud I guess)

today someone told me they have a html/cgi hosting, and they pay $8 for it. asked if they can host gemini. i said: no, you need a host. you need a console. to setup own server. now i think, hmmm, is it possible to write a cgi program that when started will enter a loop and open a socket on 1965? then it will serve some .gmi files uploaded to web root. will http server allow cgi program to open a socket and practically become a server on its own?
