Hi,
Thanks for the sharing from all of you.
So, I guess it's not about a pure "technical compatibility" issue (as I
assumed) but a choice of ISP's offer, for which, I am sure that it can be
negotiated.
The only reason that I am considering PHP (although my level is at "Hello
World") is that I have several books about it and heard that it works well
with mySQL. So I am thinking, just in case, if needed, it will be the best
if the platform can support it.
Once again, much appreciated.
