Server-Side Scripting
Code executed on hosting servers using languages like PHP or Python, generating dynamic web content tailored to user requests.
Server-side scripting refers to code that runs on your hosting server rather than in the visitor's browser, enabling dynamic, personalised, and interactive web experiences. Languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, and Node.js execute on the server, processing user inputs, querying databases, performing calculations, and generating customised HTML that's sent to the browser. This approach powers everything from user authentication and shopping carts to content management systems and real-time applications. Unlike static HTML files that display the same content to everyone, server-side scripts create unique responses based on user actions, preferences, and data. Your hosting environment must support the specific scripting languages your website uses, with adequate processing power and memory to execute code efficiently. Server-side scripting is essential for modern websites that need to interact with databases, process forms, manage user sessions, and deliver personalised content to each visitor.
