is known for being reliable and stable. Often less expensive than Windows.

CGI
CGI scripts are executables that will execute on the server to
produce dynamic and interactive web pages.
Most ISPs offer some kind of CGI capabilities. ISPs often offer
preinstalled, ready to run, guest-books, page-counters, and chat-forums
solutions in CGI.
CGI is most common on Unix or Linux servers.
ASP - Active Server Pages
ASP is a server-side scripting technology developed by Microsoft.
With ASP you can create dynamic web pages by putting script code
inside your HTML pages. The code is executed by the web server before the page
is returned to the browser. Both VBScript and JavaScript can be used.
ASP is a standard component in Windows 95,98, 2000, and XP. It can
be activated on all computers running Windows.

competitors such as Microsoft's ASP.
PHP is perfectly suited for Web development, and can be embedded
directly into the HTML code.
The PHP syntax is very similar to Perl and C.
PHP is often used together with Apache (web server) on various
operating systems. It also supports ISAPI and can be used with Microsoft's IIS
on Windows.
PHP supports many databases, such as MySQL, Informix, Oracle,
Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL, Generic ODBC, etc.
