Advanced Hosting Advantage

Easy CGI provides support for Server Side Includes. SHTML (Server parsed HTML) is a file extension used to identify standard HTML pages that contain server-side includes. Server-parsed means that the server scans the page for commands that require additional insertion before the page is sent to the client machine. Any HTML document that is going to have server side includes, must be renamed using the .shtml extension.
