What is Difference between static and dynamic website?

Static Websites

Static means "constant--never changing". A static website contains Web pages with fixed content. Each page is coded in HTML and displays the same information to every visitor.

Dynamic Websites

dynamic is "changing". You can make dynamic changes to a database without having to shutdown the instance and restart for the changes to take effect. However, if you do not update the control file, when you shutdown and startup, the dynamic change is gone--it wasn't permanent.

• A site whose construction is controlled by an application server processed by server side scripts.
