cheers
anee

 

I'd go with HTML if there isn't much to update or anything.

But really, nothing will beat a database driven site.

 

I don't get the question.. ?

 

It all depends on what type of website you want but if you don' need much programming you should use HTML.

 

strange question....
if your site is stattic you only need html
if it is dynamic you need something like asp or php

 

I don't think you should compare asp.net and html. They have their own uses and should be used appropriately. Unless there is a need for dynamically driven site, you should stick to html.

 

Werid question.

Do you know ASP.NET? If you do, you may as well use it, since it will make things easier in the future (Or does ASP.NET make things harder, I forgot ).

 

aspx = ajax and that is very powerful tool if you can work with it. Definately better than plain html, it also allows dynamic code, but if you dont know it, then html would be easier way

 

You can use ajax in aspx or php. A better question would be which is better aspx (which is asp.net) or php, and the answer would still be, whatever is easier for you to program in.

 

use html for static pages and aspx for dynamic websites. (aspx is more expensive) you can also use php and that's free

 

ASPX is just the extension used by ASP.NET pages. The ASP.NET framework and compiler are completely free; you don't need to buy anything to create aspx pages. Microsoft *wants* you to buy Visual Studio 2008 to program .NET pages, but you don't need it, I don't use it at all. Another option would be Visual Studio Express, the free version of VS, in case you want the full IDE.

 

Even for "static" pages there are advantages of .Net in the form of Master pages enabling you to take the concept of a single place to update of CSS across the whole site (though not the efficiencies that CSS brings for viewing the site)

If you had a site where every page was totally designed differently and no commonality at all then there would be minimal difference between .Net and HTML - pure HTML would be a tiny bit quicker to load as it doesnt have to go through the .Net framework before being served but unless you are talking servers running at 99% load then the difference would be invisible.

As soon as commonality exists then you have the advantage of includes for sHTML/ ASP/ PHP etc or Master pages for ASPX (though they too support includes)

 

maybe the question is supposed to be read as "which is better a ASP site or PHP site" :\

 

html php based sites

 

Hilarious.

 

Mind that aspx needs Windows server.

 

It depends upon your requirement, if you are going to place content which is not going to change through database than html is the best as Search Engine likes and easily crawl those pages.

But if website fetching content from database than aspx is best, and do URL rewriting and make those URL's such as look like static pages.

 

Html will not force me to have a windows hosting
but if I need a database and programming code I'd prefer php or jsp
and if I'm forcing to choose from your choice in programing situation I'll choose aspx for sure cause it's only my valid choice
