So what is meant by Dynamic Web page?

There are 2 types of web pages.

1) Static web page

2) Dynamic web page

Static web pages are as its name implies it contains static data. For example, a simple html page is called as “Static” page. It contents are always static or predefined statically.

But whereas dynamic pages are served by Web server or its created by the Web server and served to the user, who is initiated the request.

Static web pages are created by HTML, a language which is traditionally used to create static pages.

In other hand, Dynamic web pages are created by Server side languages like Java, JSP, ASP, ASP.Net. PHP Phython, Perl etc.

Whenever the Dynamic web page, is requested it was compiled/executed in server itself and finally output HTML.

Remember, HTML is the only language that can be understand by the browser. That’s the reason all the webservers are emits the output in HTML format.

How a web server working?

This is a very basic question. Before we going to deeper, we must know about the Operating systems. There are 2 broad categories of Operating systems. They are:
1) Client Operating Systems
2) Server Operating Systems.
Client Operating Systems:
Client operating systems are capable to provide a nice user interface to the user to interact with hardware. Some examples are DOS(which is a CUI based OS), Windows family Operating Systems (like Windows 9x family, windows XP, Windows 7, Vista etc) .
Server Operating Systems:
Server Operating systems provide the exact functionality that the client OS provide, In addition They can:
1) Handle Tera bytes of Storage disks.
2) Running a Webserver like Softwares.
3) Capable of running on a Multi Processor Environment
4) Improved Security etc..

The above are some of the main functionalities of a Server OS. Most populare Server OS’s are : Unix, Linux and Windows NT Family Server OS, Solaris etc.
The Concept:
So whenever you type a URL in a browser (Firefox, IE or chrome etc), the request will go to the Webserver, which was running on a Server OS.
Consider you request the site www.asp.net which is a ASP technology site (that is build on ASP.Net Technology), So your request directly sent to Windows Server.


Because, Microsoft created the ASP.Net Technology which is a web development technology, which can be run inside the IIS web server (which is also a Microsoft product). So whenever a ASP page kept under the IIS server and its ready for client’s request.
So that only I previously told, whenever you request a ASP.Net (.aspx) page it was kept under the IIS and served to Client.
