Popular Websites Platforms, Programming languages and Servers
When we think to develop a big website , we will see many languages and platforms in the market to use for our website but it depends on our needs. Some times we will make an image in our mind that one programming language is better than other, or some particular platform is better. But it is not a reality. Now we are talking about some popular and big websites that have using different platforms, servers,programming languages and also see the time period when the domains of these sites were registered.
Keep in mind we only talk about programming languages not designing or fundamental web languages like html, css,xml, java script etc. So let’s view and compare the below websites by their server platforms and programming languages.
| Websites | Working Since | Server Platforms | Use Programming Languages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google.com | November 1998 | Linux | C, Java, C++, PHP & MySQL |
| Facebook.com | February 2004 | Linux | PHP, MySQL and C++ |
| Yahoo.com | August 1995 | Linux | C++, C, Java, PHP & MySQL |
| Youtube.com (owned by Google) | February 2005 | Linux | C, Java and MySQL |
| MSN.com (owned by Microsoft) | August 1995 | Windows | ASP.net |
| Live.com (owned by Microsoft) | August 2008 | Windows | ASP.net |
| Wikipedia | January 2001 | Linux | PHP & MySQL |
| Amazon.com | October 1995 | Linux and Solaris | C++, Java, J2EE |
| WordPress.com | November 2005 | Linux | PHP & MySQL |
In these websites msn.com and live.com are owned by microsoft and the programming language asp.net and server platform i.e windows also owned by microsoft so obviously they use their own server platform and programming language to promote it too. But you should see the performance of all websites and trying to decide which programming language and server platform is better ? and which programming languages you want to use to develop your own sites? You will give me your comments below regarding this post.
