The provider is Godaddy Here is all they say about fastcgi in their help section
http://help.godaddy.com/search?q=fastcgi&x=0&y=0 Quite cryptic sometimes. I will get back to this after I configure the HelloWorld app. I did mention the provider in the other thread I started here, I had the impression you replied there too. I will also update that thread, I have made some progress there but I run into an other roadblock.
