8. What’s the difference between a static website and a dynamic website?

A static website is one that is built entirely from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that are uploaded to a web server. A dynamic website, on the other hand, is one that is built using a server-side programming language like PHP, Ruby on Rails, or ASP.NET. Dynamic websites can do things like display different content to different users based on their location or device, or allow users to interact with the site in ways that a static website cannot.
