The plain HTML based websites are no longer popular on the net. This is because the PHP based Content Management Systems (CMS) offer wide range of flexible solutions. From development stand point CMS programs allow easy integration of different tools such as jQuery, JavaScipt, PHP scripts and many more.

Installing web applications
There are two major platforms used commercially for web development; Microsoft Windows Server and Linux based OS versions such as Red Hat Enterprise. You could also get a fully operational free version of Linux Operating Systems for personal or small business use.

I will demonstrate how to install a Web Application using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer (version 4.6 to be exact).
Mobile tools for Webmasters
There are many different types of Webmasters (and Owners / Developers / Administrators / etc). One thing most of us love is to save money by opting for free services whenever it is possible.

If you change your web host (or server) after creating databases in the current location or if you wanted to back up your database files manually, then it is essential to know the fundamentals of migration.
