Static website and dynamic website
There are two types of websites, static websites and dynamic websites.
This kind of categorizing is usual and uses for conversations, business e.g. web contracts and it’s based on server-side or client-side, websites grouping.
Static websites are usually written in HTML, CSS (or bootstrap CSS library) and JavaScript (or JQuery JavaScript library) and most of codes displayed to user; we can call it UI (User Interface) of web application.
Dynamic websites are written using a server-side programming language, such as PHP, ASP/ASP.NET, JSP, Django (Python web framework), Ruby on Rails (Ruby web framework) or ColdFusion and a database like MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL SERVER, IBM DB2, PostgreSQL, SQLite, …
It’s possible to handle files (upload file, read write files…) and interact with database (login, register, search…).
Note: sometimes JavaScript called dynamic client-side scripting language, mostly in academic articles.
Major advantages of static websites:
1. Static websites use Client-side scripts so page renders occurs in client side and user’s browser (render engine) and there is no process in server-side.
2. Speed) static-pages load fast.
3. SEO) Search engines like fast web pages and index fast pages higher.
4. Lower cost
5. Security) there is no file upload, no database, no processing of server-side scripts; so security is needed only on web server and not in static web-pages.
6. Version control) – static websites can have repository where other web developers can collaboratively work on it.
7. Maintenance – there’re no packages, modules, frameworks and caching systems to maintain so there is nothing to do for maintenance and just enjoy it.
8. static website needs small amount of server resources.
