Based on a query on �PHP and UNIX vs. ASP.NET and Windows servers. Which is better and why?� we have prepared a short summary for you.

PHP and .Net goes head to head.

As far as the server side is concerned there is hardly any difference between the two as most of the features are supported by both the platforms and so nothing much to be compared between the two but when one considers the development tool then ASP.net has quite some advantages over php.

Actually it depends on the type of the requirements. While making a web application the factors which matter the most are:

1. Execution time of the Website

2. Reliability ( i.e. whether the site can handle the multiple user)

3. Reusability.

As ASP.Net is the most reliable, accurate and can handle the huge calculations easily so it is consider good for the large websites.  As ASP.Net is the fully based on the OOP so we can make the reusable code.

As far as the server side is concerned there is hardly any different between the two as most of the features are supported by both the platforms and so nothing much to be compared between the two but when one considers the development tool then ASP.net has quite some advantages over php.

Like all .NET applications, ASP.NET applications are compiled. This makes them much faster than PHP, whose applications are interpreted. To achieve the same effect with PHP, Zend and PHP accelerator must be installed on the server, and this is rarely the case at most Web hosting companies. Also, OO is much faster in ASP.NET than it is in PHP. Secondly ASP.NET is written using "real" OO (Object Oriented) programming languages of your choice. PHP is just a simple scripting language in comparison to .NET languages like C++, VB.NET or C# languages that give you more control, and more reusability. But from a developer point of view .net is a harder language to learn compared to php. But if one is adept with php then c# is ery simple indeed.

Another good thing about .NET is that it has multi-language support. currently one can write ASP.NET applications in C++, C#, Visual Basic.NET, java, j# etc. What’s nice about this is that you can mix the code. can instantiate an object in C# from a class written in C++ or VB.NET.

Microsoft has also released a free development environment for ASP.NET called Web Matrix,. It has a built-in Web server, database administration interface FTP integration, and more. Not only that, Microsoft has also released MSDE ,a free development edition of MS SQL server. It has precisely all the features of the full MS SQL server 2000, and any application you write for MSDE will run fine on MS SQL Server.

ASP.NET is a part of .NET, and that benefit is too large to simply ignore. If you know how to write ASP.NET applications, you know how to write ordinary applications too. Even windows apps, if you read up a little on the Windows Forms classes (as opposed to the Web Forms). PHP has PHP-GTK, but it’s currently very immature compared to .NET.

In clear terms the asp.net platform is far more robust and faster than php and almost as portable as php and also very easy to maintain than php codes .

No matter what you market on the internet at some point you’ll face the issue of increasing the number of visitors to your site. What most people don’t know is that there are literally hundreds of ways to get free traffic and links back to your blog overnight. Here we’ll focus on three overlooked ways to get additional traffic to your site using a blog.

1. Read and Comment on other Blogs - The most overlooked way to bring traffic to your site with a blog is to read and comment on other blogs. If you are concerned about being considered a link-spammer, leave a link to your site after your comments, instead of in the comment form that hot links it.

Besides, getting clicks from people who read comments, or visits from search engine spiders through your comments, isn’t necessarily your direct objective, though it’s definitely a plus.

What you want to do via commenting is to enter the blog community that corresponds to your target market. Get to know who the players are and make agreements with them to cycle traffic between you or lurk to find out where your target market typically hangs out when they’re online. These links are worth ten times a reciprocal link because they send targeted traffic from established sources, and come from experts with records of proven results.
