PHP Hosting vs ASP Hosting

Nov 29th

PHP and ASP are probably the two most common types of server-side scripting languages used, but understanding what that is and which one you should choose can be a little confusing, especially to someone who doesn’t know a lot about the complex world of website building.

An ordinary web page is made up of a Hyper Text Markup Language, or HTML, file. This is a text file that describes how to render a web page. It is stored on a special computer that is connected to the internet a high speeds, called a server. Whenever a user wants to access that web page, they use special software called a browser to load the web page. The browser requests the HTML file over the internet, and then interprets it to make it into a web page. You probably already know some or most of that, but making sure that you understand it is essential to explaining how ASP and PHP function.
