Different Between Static and Dynamic Website?
 

Hi,

I always confused between static and dynamic website. Can anyone please explain me in simple words with example?

Thanks in Advance

It Simple..
Static:- The content can't be changed because it hard coded in HTML tags. If you would like to change the content you have to change the text written between HTML tags. There is no role of database in these type of sites.

Dynamic:- As the name Admin, or user can write and change the content of site , For eg. Blogs, Quora, FB etc. You have rights to change the content so its dynamic. Dynamic sites depend upon database for their content.

The main differences between static and dynamic website are as follows
static website have
Quick to develop
Cheap to develop
Cheap to host

Dynamic website are
Much more functional website
It will be easier to update.

Static Web Pages
Static Web pages display the exact same information whenever anyone visits it. Static Web pages do not have to be simple plain text. They can feature detailed multimedia design and even videos. However, every visitor to that page will be greeted by the exact same text, multimedia design or video every time he visits the page until you alter that page's source code.

Dynamic Web Pages
Dynamic Web pages are capable of producing different content for different visitors from the same source code file. The website can display different content based on what operating system or browser the visitor is using, whether she is using a PC or a mobile device, or even the source that referred the visitor. A dynamic Web page is not necessarily better than a static Web page. The two simply serve different purposes.

With static web sites, requests for pages are handled by a web server delivering the content of these HTML files, "as is". They are called static because they don't change very often. With dynamic web sites there is a difference, requests for pages are a bit more complicated. For each request, the page (the HTML) is constructed from information stored in files (such as images), information stored in databases (textual content) and programming logic (both server side such as PHP, Java, ASP etc and with "Web 2.0" more client side - Javascript). All really useful sites (Amazon, Trademe, online banking etc) are dynamic. It would be completely impossible for them to be anything else, as what they are providing is constantly changing and/or the content is dependent on what the site visitor actually asked for.

nowadays, all sites are dynamic, i dont even remember when it was the last time a project could be done as static. In one way or the other, they all need dynamic bits these days.

There are basically two main types of website - static and dynamic. A static site is one that is usually written in plain HTML and what is in the code of the page is what is displayed to the user. A dynamic site is one that is written using a server-side scripting language such as PHP, ASP, JSP, or Coldfusion.

Static website can be design in HTML while dynamic in PHP & other CMS.

Static site display same content at all time
Dynamic site display more content by the time

Static web page means a webpage in which all the information and material is presented before users as it is exactly stored. Static web page shows same information and data to all users.

Dynamic web page is that kind of web page, which each time shows different content and materials to its viewer whenever visited by user. It randomly changes according to time, accessing and interaction by the users.
