What language are the social networks and other sites like this are written in ?

Right. So, I know nothing about website programming, other than html. I was just wondering: all those social network sites and places like this, where you can start groups, add friends and all, what language is this, most of the time, php, dhtml, something else ??





Thanks.

What language are the social networks and other sites like this are written in ?
Facebook is written in PHP. You can tell because the page extentions end in "php".


Myspace is written in ColdFusion. It's page extensions end in "cfm".





However, as the previous poster noted there could be a dozen other technologies involved. However the page extensions are a pretty good indication of at least one of these technologies. Other common page types are ASP, ASPX (also known as ASP.Net) and pl for Perl.





Some websites such as yahoo and okcupid mask the typical flags that can help you determine what language they're written in but I'm sure a little research on Google could probably help you out with that.





If you're asking because you'd like to learn a little bit about how these sites function I'd suggest learning PHP or ASP.Net. I would highly advise that you avoid ColdFusion.
Reply:They are mostly written with php + htaccess + mysql + ruby.


The majority are hosted on servers with Apache, and generally make use of db caching, and cluster servers to manage load.
Reply:since most of them are quite big, and have to scale well, i'm pretty sure they're NOT written in PHP, Perl or ASP. I guess most of them are written in Java or in a combination of several languages. I once heard that Amazon is not a single application but a combination of hundreds of services; each service can be written in a different language. it's up to the developers which language they use.
Reply:They all use server side languages, like PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, etc.

Cost of creating a social networking site?

How much would it cost to create a social networking site? (I mean if you paid someone to do it)

Cost of creating a social networking site?
Not much... but there are so many free choices why not do it yourself? See GraffitiCMS, blognet and others.
Reply:how would you make profit though?
Reply:it will cost a bit of money. But you will also need your own servers which will cost a lot.

What's the best social networking site?

What do you think is the best social networking site you've been to? I like Perfspot although the population are not as astounding as myspace. Friendster is a filipino country, while myspace is like an american territory. Facebook has the most number of elite members in the society?

What's the best social networking site?
Facebook it the best by far. It is secure and easy to find people you know. It is also one of the biggest social networks with people all around the word and nearly every college
Reply:Years ago, I had xanga but it got boring (who wants to write about their day). I thought I would never join a networking site again until....





Two months Ago I joined facebook and was able to reconnect with friends I thought I lose contact with. It has really fun apps you can do with your friends.





It's also very safe and secure which are the bonus.





You also get to join networks so its easy to communicate
