Default REAL Software Web App ( Fast-CGI ) ?

I have a web application written with REAL Studio ( Dynamic Fast-CGI ) and I'm looking for a host to run it...
Is it possible with HostGator? And if yes, which kind of account do I need?

You are looking at VPS hosting from Hostgator, I really don't think that standard HG hosting will satisfy your particular needs. Go with VPS

Actually, my company already own a HG Reseller account, but so far, I was'nt able to correctly run a Fast CGI application. I'm always getting the following error in the cPanel error log:

[error] mod_fcgid: process /home/..../public_html/testapp/testapp.fcgi/testapp.fcgi(7595) exit(communication error), get unexpected signal 11

This application ( same build and libraries ) runs fine with our local web server running under Ubuntu 10.10 Server. But its a mod_fastcgi module, not mod_fcgid...

Reseller and VPS are not the same. Reseller basically is the same as a regular hosting shared account, just with WHM access. HostGator still has to worry about other reseller accounts on that server, so they dont give you as much access (no SSH) nor will you be able to run ANYTHING at the best speeds since it is a shared server. If you want to run the CGI script quickly (aka faster) and be able to access SSH you need VPS. VPS cuts you off and creates your own "area" on a server so it acts like a dedicated server but with less resources.

I would try my best to help you with your error issue, but i have near 0 experience with CGI.

Quick Definition of a VPS (as defined by serverpath.com)

Quote:
VPS Server — The definition of A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a server broken into multiple partitions that allow each partition to act as a virtual dedicated server. Each VPS runs its own operating system, has its own bandwidth and disk space, and can be individually rebooted. Virtual Private Servers give the customer more independence than shared hosting services at a lower cost than a physical dedicated server.
