Hi,

waiting for responses

shaks

a better question...


:-) Thanks for a cute response. Thanks for making me realize my mistakes. Thanks for making me realize I was not clear in My posting, I agree my posting is not up to the standards of expertise.

Ok let me be clearer with what I wanted to convey and the sort ofInfo I was expecting from the expertise’s. I am new to web technologies, just out of college. I have plans to go in for commercializing my web Site. To come up with web site I have decided to go for free wares. Before I start Of with the actual development stuff I thought I should do a survey of the technologies used, their pros and cons. Few people did and suggest me to opt for Jps, apache,oracle. Many suggested me to opt for php & Mysql. Many people suggested me to opt for php as they offer a web server free for hosting, if I went for jsp I need to pay extra for the plug-ins. Each person have their opinion I was confused so I ended up mailing to codeguru With an intention I would be well guided in selecting the software’s, servers, tell me Which option would cost me less when I go in for commercializing my web site.

Ha I agree my success or failure depends many things. To get a feeling of what server is and how it works I have started using jws. But to go ahead with confidence I had to disturb U Guys.Hope atleast u should be in a position to guide me. With Ur guidance, with my dedication and hard work I have confidence in me I will succeed.

multilingualness is a client sided work....I dont think it has any thing to do with server....

and as about the server, there are a host of them to choose from....

Apache - http://httpd.apache.org/
IIS
Xitami - http://www.xitami.net/
ColdFusion - http://www.aliare.com/
etc..

If you go for php, you can run it as a module on apache and iis...This means that php.exe is not executed each time your script is hit...the loaded plugin of the server does the task...

perl can be used the same way on apache and iis.

ColdFusion is a application server...


I have never used asp but php is always getting better...

I feel that scripts written in c++ which run as a CGI are the best...(does any one have a different opinion ?)

And to get all that you want yo may have to host it on your computer...than a web host...

All the Best...

I really appreciate your thoughts.
My advice is learn PHP and MySql properly.
The best thing in the world is learning our selves.

Putting a website, in my opinion, is not much to do with script or design but the purpose. Now doing web work is becoming very easy with advanced editors.

If you just want to have your own home page.. Then you do not need to go for a separate one, with u'r own money.

www.geocities.com or
www.freeweb.com
etc so many sites are offering free home pages..
u just browse, and learn how things are happening.
learn then you can think of putting something on your own.

cheers
