What is better asp.net or php, i have made my website in asp.net, but i heard that php is better, should i stick to asp.net or use php instead?

Hello,

In comparison between asp.net and php, i would definitely go in for php. Let me set a example for you in the name of budget, php is only compatible with linux whereas asp.net is compatible with windows, as in ratio with linux,windows hosting is costlier.At the end of it all, you would be paying more that you would have saved considerably.

Php is a open-source project whereas asp.net is not a open-source . So if you ask me you can consider php superior to asp.net.

Cheers

I would say neither is really better just a preference of how you like to develop.

If you are comfortable using Microsoft products then learning ASP.NET may be easier the opening notepad and learning PHP.

I personally prefer PHP but would not say that it is better or worse.

i would probably have to say PHP due to the fact the .net is a very cpu intensive and can often lead to slow loading sites. I have come across many sites that are .net and they just crawl. Regluar ASP or PHP are better bets.

Cheers

I am comfortable with php though my forum is asp.net
php is stable, cool, easy to handle, faster and reliable (my personal view)

I have started a hosting website ( url removed) since last 5 to 6 months but i don't have that website's link popularity.

So what should i do to make it popular and get a good ranking in the Google ?

I have started submitting my website to directories but i don't have a bigger list, Can anyone provide a bigger but free directory list related to hosting for submitting in it ?

What else should I do to get my website better ?


Thanks in advance

I think the answer of which is better depends on what you want to do (the application) and where you are hosted (the server). The biggest comparison to me is PHP being open source while ASP is proprietary. Pound for pound and if I can choose for myself a Linux server to run my application, then I would go to PHP.

More and more people like using linux web server, and PHP works great on linux server. On the other hand, ASP works great in windows server. It's good to know both if you have time to learn them.

I personally use more PHP than ASP since I switch using linux server.

My two cents

I would go with PHP as well. Simply good and easy to program using it.
