Hi there,
A new potential client currently run there database on using MySQL and PHP,
it has about 7000 records and runs rock solid over the web.
However they need much more functionality and have approached me to build
them a new database. However, they are used to rock solid reliability in
their quite straight forward database (which is also cheap to run because it
is opensource components), I have not yet implemented any largish ASP.net
solutions and was thinking of wowing them with a feature rich impressive
interface, however, how likely am I to have problems with speed and
reliability compared to what they are used to.
Having met them they have limited understanding of issues involved and are
very impatient. I am not sure whether to keep is simple with PHP / mysql or
get them hooked on a nice ASP.net solution.
But then am I going to see a performance drop with ASP.net. Especially as
they will then be paying for more expensive hosting solutions and they do
not want me to introduce anything that gets in the way of them doing their
business.
OK a bit of an open question, but I welcome anyone opinions from people with
experience.
Kind regards,
Dave
