Using cpanel on my hosting account, I created a subdomain – e.g. http://www.clothing.mysite.com

A cgi-bin folder was automatically created in the directory for clothing.mysite.com. Do I need it? I’m only using the subdomain to install wordpress on it. I don’t really understand what the cgi-bin folder is for and I’m happy to leave it if it doesn’t harm anything. Any thoughts?

    You can safely delete it. “cgi-bin” is hardly ever used these days.
