In early internet, users were accessible with what are called static web pages; the basic HTML page appears same for every user on any devices.

As the technology is developed the need develop for dynamic web pages, that appears differently for individual users such as who will log in the site will see different and content also.

Displaying dynamic content for different users and different devices require scripting. Scripting is nothing but process whereby the interactive elements of the web pages are retrieved from the websites database or other data stores on the site server.

There are two type of scripting: Server side scripting and Client side scripting

Server-side scripting is a scheme of crafty websites so that the process or user request is run on initiating the server. Server-side scripts give an interface to the user and are used to limit access to proprietary data and help keep organize of the script source code.
This is done using scripting languages such as PHP, ASP.NET and Python

Client side scripting: Client side scripting means the script that is sent to the web browser and the browser uses that script to procure and collate the page’s content on the user’s device.

Advantages 
  • Server-side scripting languages like PHP can be configured to run CMS applications, like WordPress and Joomla. This allows CMS users to easily create and update content on the web lacking the need for coding.
  • In order for client-side scripting to work, browsers need plug-in and scripting technologies like JavaScript to accumulate the entire information. This increases the load on the user’s computer and can lead to troubles such as sluggish loading, high CPU usage and if it is an older computer.
  • Most of the browsers does not support the JavaScript, so server-side scripting is crucial to run dynamic pages on these browsers.

When you log in to server-side scripting,new technologies adding developers find the new technique of changing data with server, called Ajax and this allow the web pages to update without reloading the pages.
  • Scripting demands the website server, if website using the large application and if it is getting the heavy traffic it needs the powerful hosting like a cloud hosting or dedicated hosting.
