Hi everyone. This isn't exactly HTML related, but I figured you guys
know a lot about *hosting* all that HTML as well! :)

Anyway, I was wondering what the common practice is for structuring your
directories on your hosting server. Is it still normal to put CGI
scripts in their own directory? Is it better to put everything in a
single directory?

For some things, like images, it seems maybe beneficial to keep them
separate, just to be orderly. But, assuming there are no server/provider
limitations on where you can put things, is it better to put static and
dynamic web pages in the same directory? Does anyone still use a
/cgi-bin directory, for example?

My opinion is to have directories:
cgi-bin
pages
dynpages
pictures
documents
css
scripts
.....anyway, it's up to you ...
