Calling all Tech Guru Views! ASP.NET v/s PHP

Folks,

My site www.artbugs.in is up… do provide feedback! Artbugs.IN is India’s window to the world of Art, Arty Sculptures of Paintings from Top Artists, and especially emerging artists and those from the interiors who do not have a platform to showcase their talent and earn a reasonable income. Interested artists write in (Painting, Sculpture, Unique Home Décor, Hand Made Furniture… anything out of the extra-ordinary!) Samir@perspective.net.in

This Debate:-

Our site is developed on PHP/MySQL with cost being the primary consideration; while someone just told me ASP.NET is better for E-Commerce sites. My Dev Head tells me we went with PHP due to lower dev cost, lower license cost etc…

However is ASP.net better, what about the other platforms?

– Can PHP/MySQL be ported to another platform?

– Is the source code for PHP/MySQL re-usable?

– If my key consideration is fast site loading, mobile friendly browser view etc. which is the best?

Many Thanks!
