Having decided which operating system Windows vs. Linux you want to run on you then need to consider the language used for your site.

In more specific terms the choice of languages is extremely large theree comes a time, for many commercial web sites, when the transition from static HTML to dynamic HTML has to be made

You may have a "static" company web site that needs to become "dynamic". That is at present you have little change occurring and monthly or maybe quarterly updates serve your requirements. You may decide to move on to maximize what your site does for you perhaps an online store? Or a stock management & display system?

The site will become too large to manage with HTML alone, a decision has to be made to move to an environment that makes it easier to build and maintain the site.

Your only option may be to use server-side programming, what language you decide to use can be a difficult and important decision.

 

Server-Side programming Options

Your options are plentiful. Each offers its own pros and cons, and each promise to be the best choice.

We support all common examples of languages used for dynamic Web site development include Perl, PHP, ASP (and .NET), ColdFusion, and Java.

As a rule of thumb Web servers running Perl/PHP usually cost less then Java ones.

We offer the opportunity to move away from third party hosting to using our own servers. In the event you requirements are sufficient that you need your own dedicated server [a rare occurrence] we can arrange this for you.
