There is no specific answer to this. But\n\nYahoo\n\nUses a lot of PHP and MySQL. The creator of PHP[1] and a core developer of MySQL[2] work for Yahoo. Most of the servers are customised Linux \n\nGoogle \n\nUses customised redhat for servers.

Google is better, sure Yahoo has some similar services but Google has Google Earth, Google Desktop search, the Google Toolbar (which I find superior to the Yahoo Toolbar), Gmail (superior to Yahoo Mail and it works with Outlook for free), Gtalk (the google IM application) and Picasa among many other services.  Plus Google has just released Google Pack which combines their most popular programs into one installer, check it out at http://pack.google.com/

They are both search engine/internet based companies. Yahoo offers more "extra" services than google such as web design, online gaming, matchmaking, etc. Where-is Google hasn't really explored this market yet.

Both SQL Server and Oracle are Relational Database Management Systems. Microsoft Access is not; it is run by a jet engine instead.\n\nMicrosoft created Access in an attempt to compete with FoxPro (a product similar to Access). When Access failed to do compete with FoxPro, Microsoft bought the FoxPro company.\n\nNow for the Oracle and SQL Server, both are Relational Database Management Systems. A Relational Database Management System is capable of supporting concurrency (concurrent access to data), transactions (ablity to excute queries as an atomic block with rollback capability) so it can handle more concurrent users and it is for sure more reliable in a multiuser environment.\n\nIt is very hard to say which (Oracle or SQL Server) is better because there are so many factors that have to be taken into consideration, however SQL Server enjoyes a remarkable growth rate because it is easier to use and more cost-effective than the competing enterprise Database systems like Oracle and IBM DB2. Of course oracle and IBM DB2 have been entrenched in the enterprise for some time now , unlike SQL Server.\n\nOne last point. You can use any of the above products to handle 1000 records, However since you are still learning about Database programming, I suggest you learn either SQL Server or Oracle so that you learn some Database programming concepts like the use of Database objects such as stored procedures, triggers, transactions and so on.

If you mean you want to create a file uploading form, you need to provide us with the server technology (ColdFusion, ASP.NET, PHP) you are going to use to handle the uploaded file.

Use MySQL. You can download it free from http://www.mysql.com/ You should also download the Administration tools that come with it. They are very useful. You may also download phpmyadmin, a web-based admin tool you that works on a PHP-enabled server. You will find it very easy to setup and use. These tools are powering many websites on the net. Of course, you webhosting package must have PHP/MySQL enabled. All technologies mentioned are Open Source.

I'm not sure about the best. I use GoDaddy for my webhosting (all packages include MySQL), and everything has worked great for me so far. The important thing, though, is to remember to get a Linux server rather than Windows because of the security options and because most webhosts limit some php functions on their Windows servers.

Why only consider Microsoft? why not Sun?\n\nYou can develop dynamic web sites using one of the following:\n\n1. J2EE-JSP (Sun technology)\n2. Dot Net-ASP.NET (Microsoft technology)\n3. PHP (Open source)\n\nIf you want to develop stable, secured, strong and huge web sites, you will go for the J2EE.\n\nFor medium and small web sites, you should go for the ASP.NET.\n\nIt doesn't really matter what technology you're using. It all depends on the cost and time you are willing to spend on a web site. All technologies will do the work.\n\nJ2EE is very expensive to host and maintain. ASP.NET is cheaper. PHP is very very cheap to host.\n\nMost people tend to use PHP because it is cheaper and is well integrated with MySQL database. MySQL database is an open source database engine. But not as secured as Oracle or MS SQL Server. When you work with open source technologies, you end up with cost free web site, you will only pay for the hosting.\n\nSo, again, it's a matter of what web site you're developing and what costs are you (or your client) willing to pay.

Shame on you, that's not a real question ;)\n[and was it really worth bumping???}\n\nNow, I am a coldfusion programmer, and I personally don't think it's a real programming language. The problem is, the people who started coldfusion thought it wasn't a programming language either, but then suddenly as its userbase needed more solutions for the applications they were building, the language got bigger, and it certainly had to start mimicing the constructs and processes of a real programming language, including OOP methods. So it has become one. Sure it's not OOP, but I was able to use the process I learned from ColdFusion and put it into my C++ skills. \nBut of couse you were asking the question as your own statement about its quality, so your asking is disingenious to begin with. \n\nIt is a programming language, strictly speaking, as you give it input, which it interprets and gives output.  It's certainly not as robust as PHP, and has to go back to the server unlike Javascript, which I'm sure you must think are both real languages since they're OOP, but why complain? Get over it and get back to your real programming language.

1) Yahoo has a search engine but not as much great as google.\n\n2) Google use AJAX.Net in their google mail but yahoo use simple scripting language.\n\n3) yahoo has a wide yahoo msgnr but google has a msgnr that is also good.

I noticed by looking at the filename extensions on my space that it uses asp.net and cold fusion.\nASPX and cfm.\nMy guess is things were probably initially written in cold fusion.

Yes, PHP is a server-side scripting language that allows you to incorporate your pages with a database, such as MySQL. With PHP, you can create online forms for collecting information and inserting it into a database and also presenting the information from a database back to the user.

Coldfusion is macromedia's answer to ASP and PHP. it uses a language similar to PHP and IMO is inferior to ASP.NET. Maybe that's because I use ASP.NET everyday.\n\nFireworks is a Photoshop + Imageready and is very good to get started in graphic design, however; it will never be a replacement for good old photoshop.\n\nFlash is used to create animations, either swf files or animated gifs.\n\nFreehand is a vector graphic program akin to Illustrator.  Vector are awesome because they are so sharp.

probably gmail. 2GB of space, great search features, fast, and you can use it with a POP client.\n\nI use yahoo mail, but only because that's what I've had forever. not really worth it to switch at this point. the Ajax thing is cool, but doesn't work on all browsers.

santa clara is where one of their many data centers. I used to work for Yahoo.

If you are locating this server at your location then go with the microsoft product. If you are using a hosting service, use the Linux service unless you specifically need microsoft server products like asp. \n\nLinux has a rather steep learning curve and it sounds like you are in a hurry.

Those are programming languages. IT's not that easy to list all the details here. C#,ASP.NET and VB.NET are products of Microsoft. Why dodn't you try google!
