Hi I have been recently noticing websites with the extensions

http://anywebsite/Home.aspx or personal.ashx

Why have they got these extensions when normally it was html extesion at the end has there been a change?? What is with the .ashx or aspx e.g.

e.g. before http://anywebsite/Home.html but now it is http://anywebsite/Home.aspx



But now the other extensions on some websites please can someone clear this up thanks

Thanks

This has to do with server-side scripting. Asp is Active Server Pages. It's a .NET based scripting language. Some server-side scripting languages include ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc...
