2.  Whatsapp Are you a business owner looking for PHP web development services or ASP.Net development services, but unable to decide the right technology for your project? Are you looking for the pros and cons of ASP.Net and PHP to take an effective decision?  Being a leading software development company in India, we have made this task easy for you by comparing ASP.Net and PHP in a very simple way. There are a number of articles and blogs available over the Internet with a large amount of information about PHP Vs ASP.NET. Unfortunately, most of these blog posts are biased and typically based on promoting one over the other.   In this blog post, we have done an unbiased comparison between the two most popular technologies i.e. PHP and ASP.NET in today’s world.  On one side, we have PHP, the world’s most used and popular technology on the internet with billions of dedicated PHP developers across the world. On the other side, we have ASP.NET, a Microsoft platform. Sometimes, it becomes quite difficult to have a clear decision about which technology (Php or Asp.net) should we prefer for our application or website development project?  Here is an elaborative comparison guide that helps you figure out the best technology for your next web app development project in India. I can assure you that after reading this article, you’ll have a clear idea about which technology suits you better. Moreover, you can share your thoughts and feedback in our comment box. We welcome your positive feedback for appreciating our work. Also, we will be happy to hear from you if you want us to do some improvements to our article.    

3. PHP Vs ASP.NET: How to Choose the Ri… Watch later Share Watch on PHP vs ASP.NET: A Small Brief We have no doubt about the fact that both of these technologies have become successful ventures, and have developed great websites.  But, the question still remains fresh for all of us, especially those from a non-technical background and the question is: Which platform should we choose at the time of starting with web-apps exercise?     On one side, PHP is a free and open-source platform while ASP.Net is a paid Microsoft platform platform. . PHP is a mix between a programming language and a web framework whereas .NET is a straight application framework.   ASP.Net is a paid Microsoft Now, Let’s have a neat and clean comparison on PHP & DotNet on different parameters.  PHP V/s ASP.NET: Speed & Performance To begin with, one common misconception about website performance and speed is that the language you choose to code in determines your website’s overall performance. In reality, however, there is very little difference between the performance of PHP websites and ASP.NET websites.

4. For example, take one of the most common tasks of any web application which is to query a database and output the results on the webserver— and ultimately to the end user’s browser. In the aforementioned scenario, the coding language is simply communicating with the database and web servers to produce the desired outcome. Both PHP and ASP.NET web development are equally equipped to access file systems, find images, and display pages on a web server and the speed of these performances relies much more on the database server, end user’s computer, and bandwidth, etc. That being said there are common myths in the industry about ASP.NET web development being a more elegant language than PHP. While strictly speaking ASP.NET doesn’t allow for as many irregularities in its code while still being able to run (which technically does make PHP web development services is an easier language for beginners to pick up) the actual business applications of being able to write “prettier code” are negligible. While many expert PHP coders out there will guffaw at the prospect of building a site in PHP the fact that humongous sites such as MailChimp and Facebook are written in PHP should be enough evidence to dispel any notion that PHP sites run more poorly than ASP.NET sites. than ASP.NET sites. PHP sites run more poorly PHP vs ASP.NET: Market Share  Let’s find out usage or market share of these programming languages as of June 2019:

5. PHP V/s ASP.NET: Scalability Both ASP.NET and PHP web applications are extremely scalable languages Both ASP.NET and PHP web applications are extremely scalable languages. What matters more to scalability than the language you choose is the development talent you hire. In this regard, you should take into consideration the state of your business. If you are a DIY Entrepreneur and want to take a crack at developing with Drupal then PHP is clearly the preferred option over ASP.NET as it is the language that comes with the lowest learning curve.

6. If you are looking to hire a lead developer or team of developers to build your website then you should defer to the best available talent. Whether that talent works in PHP or ASP.NET should only matter if your company culture veers towards using one language or the other already. While detractors of PHP will point to the fact that it, as a language, is more clunky than ASP.NET, this will only show itself as a weakness to your website’s overall framework if you hire PHP programmers. Likewise, the fact that ASP.NET is more of a demanding language than PHP web development doesn’t mean that you’re automatically more likely to find better talent within the ASP.NET development pool. PHP V/s ASP.NET: Support PHP is open-source and its pool of developers is far larger than ASP.NET PHP is open-source and its pool of developers is far larger than ASP.NET (which is windows based). That being said both boast vibrant communities that post regularly to online forums, so if you are looking for answers to problems, you’re likely to find both communities helpful. That being said, while the ASP.NET community is comprised of dedicated developers there are quite a few fewer support contributors who are willing and able to post to the forums and answer questions about ASP.NET challenges. In contrast to this, PHP is such a widely used language that there are plenty of friendly developers active on different forums who are more than willing to offer free advice and guidance to those who ask for it. The biggest takeaway here is that while you’ll most likely be able to find answers to your questions in both communities, you’ll almost assuredly get those answers back more quickly when working within PHP forums.

7. PHP V/s ASP.NET: Cost This is the only area where PHP has a distinct advantage over ASP.NET. PHP is open- source, and thus, completely free, while ASP.NET is owned by Microsoft and comes source, and thus, completely free, while ASP.NET is owned by Microsoft and comes with a web hosting fee. with a web hosting fee. PHP is open- However, the costs of those fees shouldn’t be exorbitant enough to deter you from the Outsource Outsource ASP.NET development company ASP.NET development company pool if you’re already leaning that way for your project development. Also worth noting here is that PHP can be used on Mac, Windows, or Linux machines while ASP.NET development services are only meant to be run on Windows machines. That being said if you use a Mac or Linux you can use the Mono project to use ASP.NET. PHP V/s ASP: Popularity This is another huge difference between PHP and .Net. In the following diagram, it is clearly mentioned that PHP has more popularity than ASP.  PHP V/s ASP.NET: Suitable Websites

Cons – One of the main disadvantages of PHP is that it is generally not suitable for making desktop

10. applications. – Compared to other languages, PHP applications tend to run slower. – It allows customization that causes bugs and poor coding than ASP.NET. – PHP error handling is traditionally considered poor when compared to other programming languages which means it can take more time to discover why a particular piece of code isn’t working as expected. ASP.NET: Pros and Cons   Pros – ASP.NET is highly scalable; its scalability index even posing a stiff competition to its rival PHP. – Microsoft owns it. – Support all programming languages and works well with either app or C# – It informs developers if they made any mistake in coding before compile. – It comes with lots of tools and features to support programmers. – Works extremely well with Windows – Excellent platform for Enterprise applications. – Fast development with a lot of pre-coded options – An excellent UI for developers Cons – Not easy to learn and harder to understand – Smaller support community

11. – Smaller support community – It operates only on a Microsoft server – It is slightly expensive because of its Microsoft license – Not as good as PHP for website development – Based on closed source technology.

Be it the public and private cloud or client devices such as desktops and smartphones. 9. Manit Chanthavong July 2, 2017 at 9:43 pm PHP is a programming language plus it includes the entire web framework. So the author is correct in comparing the two. I’ve been developing in C#, .NET, ASP.NET since it was in BETA version. 15 years ago when one of my peers suggested we use PHP, he was scoffed at by the network admins and other programmers. My have the times changed. I am looking to convert our very large web application to PHP Laravel. I’m afraid the small typos in coding is going to wreak havoc on testing and deployment. Overall I think it was a good article. 10. Yasser Shaheen June 28, 2017 at 8:35 am You are wrong & BIASED .. 1- First of all, ASP.NET is not a language, it’s a web application framework ! so comparing this to php (which is a programming language) is like comparing a

17. fully assembled car to an engine. 2- Stating the “free, open source and large support” thing, subtly leading the reader to favor php due to low cost and the factor of …. “large support”. 3- On what ground you said that ” ASP.NET is not as good as PHP for website development” ? since PHP can be seamlessly implemented into ASP.NET ! 4- Last but not least : when you make a comparison, make sure you compare similar elements, which -in this case- means that you either compare C# to PHP or ASP.NET to Laravel or Cake.
