Server Pages describes a technology for embedding scripts into web pages that can interact with the web environment. Server pages provide virtually the same dynamic abilities as server-side scripting. However, because they are mostly standard web pages it is usually easier for web designers to alter for non-dynamic content. Server pages typically have a performance advantage over CGI scripts (not Servlets).
Typical use of server-side programming:
Personalized page content to the user's needs
Enable the web browser to act as a database interface
Alter page content based on browser/OS platform

scripting tips
Carefully select your server pages platform. While each version can accomplish nearly identical functionality some will be a better fit for where you are and where your web future will be.
If you use 3rd party hosting check to see which server pages they support and if there are any additional costs.
