Why PHP?
Fast Load Time
PHP results in faster site loading speeds. PHP codes runs
much faster than ASP because it runs in its own memory space while ASP uses an
overhead server and a COM based architecture
Less Expensive Software
In working with PHP, most tools associated with the program
are open source software, such as WordPress, so you need not pay for them.
As for ASP, you might need to buy additional tools to work with its programs.
Less Expensive Hosting
ASP programs need to run on Windows servers with IIS
installed. Hosting companies need to purchase both of these components in order
for ASP to work, this often results in a more expensive cost for monthly
hosting services. On the other hand, a PHP would only require running on a
Linux server, which is available through a hosting provider at no additional
cost.
Database Flexibility
PHP is flexible for database connectivity. It can connect to
several databases the most commonly used is the MySQL. MySQL can be used
for free. If ASP is used, MS-SQL, a Microsoft product must be purchased.
Increased Available Programming Talent
PHP is used more often creating a larger pool of talent to
choose from for modifications and building and lowering the cost per hour for
those services. And making it easier to find someone to update your site
in the future if you choose to hire a staff member for the task or work with an
alternate provider than the one who built your site.
