About ASP and PHP
Programming Languages ASP and PHP
What’s the difference between ASP and PHP? Well, besides the obvious which
is they are two different languages, the main difference is, it depends on what
type of server you are going to host your website on. If you are being hosted on
a UNIX server then you want to use PHP, if your webserver is Windows based (NT
server) use ASP. Your hosting company will tell you which language you should
use.
People building applications, which will be run on a PC or home network, will
again choose ASP as the chances are it will be a Windows operating system you
are using.
PHP is also the newer of the two languages and many programmers now prefer
it, for many different reasons. Because we only run UNIX servers all our
websites use PHP and MySQL databases, including all the easyGen ones. So when
you purchase your easyGen and your license is issued and emailed to you, that’s
PHP. But it should also be said that it could also be done in ASP.
At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference and the type of
server you’re being hosted on. Because NT servers have a reputation for being
a little temperamental and always needing a reboot many people prefer to be
hosted on UNIX servers as they are more reliable and have a higher up time rate.
It is for this reason we only host on UNIX servers

How do I get a website that will run ASP or PHP
There are many hosting companies on the internet, and all offer various
deals. Some are more reliable than others and some of the cheaper ones offer a
reduced quality service due to the large volume of sites they will load on to
one server. This can cause problems with connecting and down time.
We put a maximum of 100 sites on our servers, thus ensuring fast connections
and reliability. We also only use UNIX servers as they are more robust than NT.
So if you are looking for a PHP and MySQL site we can help you, see http://www.easygen.com/hosting/

Can I run ASP and PHP on my PC
If you have Windows XP pro, Windows 2000 or windows NT and have IIS running
(see your operating system help files) then yes you can run ASP and PHP web
pages on your PC. For PHP you will need to install the PHP environment, see the
easyGen user manual,
ASP runs as standard on the above operating systems if you have installed IIS
from the O/S set up disk
