What Does It Mean When A Hosting Company Offers Cgi Based Php?

I am looking to host a website and use various PHP scripts. The hosting site that I am looking at offers “CGI based PHP”? What does that mean for me? Does that mean I cannot embed PHP into my web pages? Do I have to put all PHP scripts into the cgi-bin?

    http://www.goldpuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($3.99 /month).
    But if you’re looking for the best service on the web, take a look at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . As an experienced webmaster I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. Their service is really great and easy to use.

    Well CGI Based PHP means he must be using PHP as FASTCGI or CGI
    you don’t need to upload your php scripts / files to cgi-bin folder.
    Like if its a Microsoft Windows based Hosting then it would be IIS (Internet information Services) with FastCGI PHP
    CGI Based php actually means php is running as an extention.
    It doesn’t matters if php is runnin as CGI but it would be faster if its standalone.
    However, I would like to suggest you following hosting companies.
