Static web sites have web pages saved on the server where users can view them. There are three main categories of software which are used in editing static web sites: a) Text editors like Notepad or TextEdit where HTML can be altered directly using the editor program; b) WYSIWYG editors like Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe Dreamweaver (known before as Macromedia Dreamweaver) which can edit the web site using a GUI interface and can automatically generate the underlying HTML, and; c) Template-based editors like iWeb and Rapidweaver wherein users can easily make and upload web sites to a web server even without any background in using HTML since they can always choose templates from the available palette and modify using pictures and text.

The client-side dynamic content comes from the client’s computer when the web server retrieves the page and sends it back as it is. Next, the web browser inputs the code embedded in the page and finally shows it to the user. Remember that some browsers do not support the language or all aspects of the language in a client-side dynamic page. Also, since the data cannot be stored anywhere but in the user’s computer, the data cannot be used for statistics gathering. Keep in mind that search engines cannot run client-side languages and crawl links created by them and that some users sometimes have scripting languages disabled in their browsers because of potential security threats.

The previous post discussed why hosting companies are needed and why they are so important for e-commerce and the internet as a whole. They make owning a web page cheaper and simpler with them worrying about the hardware stuff and data storage and you are left to manage your web page without having to worry about having all those requirements in place. Choosing your hosting company can be the difference between the success and failure of your website for as you may notice, you may not be alone on their servers that usually host several to hundreds of web sites to make the most of their investment in the hardware. Poor service would have your page going offline intermittently and other issues such as lost data or even corrupted data can result. Read more »

You may have run across the term in your browsing and with the many annoying pop-up windows that advertises such services. Hosting is actually a simpler way of getting a web page on the internet without much cost.
