Hi,

It depends on the hosting configuration of the domain(setup page on the domain in Plesk).

It is configured in IIS(.php handler)

It is considered that ISAPI mode more fast than CGI but CGI is more stable.

Plesk 8.3 has an option to run php in fastcgi mode that combine speed and reliability.

>ISAPI workswith IIS i know but how does CGI works..

Briefly it can be imagined in this way:

IIS call php.exe(php-cgi.exe) to parse .php files, php returns and answer back to IIS.
