In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello people, I have a general question about a Web Site. Should the pages be generated dynamically or statically? Here's the scoop. 1. There are over 9000 customers. 2. Each one gets a www.mainsite.ext/customers/customera directory currently 3. All .html files are currently generated and are stored statically. 4. There are over 9000 subdirectories to /customers/. 5. All graphic files are shared in a common /customergraphics/ directory. Question: Would it be better to make these pages Dynamically generated? I invite the Pros/Cons discussion...if any have experience please let me know. PS - I understand that http://my.yahoo.com/? uses cookies and it must pull from a database to generate the pages...the front end one at least.
