it depends on what you want to run! if you're using asp as for your database you should go with a windows server. these days everyone use "mysql" and its supported by linux servers. windows servers are good for people who want to run vps with remote desktop facility . its easy for us to manage a windows vps because we are familiar with windows environment.
If we compare the speed of ASP and PHP we can say PHP has an upper hand. PHP code runs faster than ASP. ASP is built on COM based architecture, which is an overhead for the server whereas PHP code runs in its own memory space.
Hmm. Can't agree with that. PHP is widely used language. But ASP.NET is pre-complied and PHP is run-time script. So theoretically complied langues are faster. Also ASP.NET has ability to run on memory and do caching. PHP is growing so fast. With frameworks like Zend, Symphony it can perform way better than .NET.
Just Google "PHP vs. ASP.NET"
but i didn't got a clear answer.anyway your comment gave a clear picture on that.currently i'm in php area.basically i'm doing Codeigniter framework and still beginner in cake php.Are those frameworks also good in performance wise when comparing with zend,symphony?
thanks for the comment machan.yeah i google it before this post here
) . Zend has its own web server and many performance optimizations. Comparing to other Zend perform better but hard.
