Hello
I am a newcomer to the High Rankings site, and find it very thought provoking but also baffling. I have a basic question that I hope someone may be able to help with.
My server does not accept php sites. As I have not learned to use it yet it is not an urgency, but I would like to have comments from people as to whether it matters that a site is written in very basic HTTP or not.
Regards
Gill

welcome to HR Gill hi.gif

I guess you mean HTML (HTTP is the protocol that webservers use to transfer information)

In actual fact PHP or any server side code (ASP, CFM etc) all produce their output in HTML, simply because it's the language that web browsers understand.
The page extension (.php .asp ) simply tells the server that the page may contain script code that should be executed before delivery.

So the answer is, No, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

Sooner or later, you'll probably want to make the switchover. You'll find that once you get into big sites, it is a lot easier to maintain them if you use php (or another programming language).

As far as search engines are concerned though, no, it doesn't really matter.

My suggestion is to get a cheap webhost or even setup a server on your own computer to try out php etc. In the long run, it's definitely better to run a CMS (content management system) on your website. It's actually easier to build such websites than static html pages if you have lots of pages.

And when you need to modify the design or something else that is on every page, then it gets harder yet...
