If you have a .com and you want to put up a guestbook, how does that work? Is it .jsp or something else?

Any links with directions would be helpful. I've never done it before. I'm not looking for other services that provide guestbooks I want my own.

Most ISPs have prepackaged guestbook programs that you can plug into your website. There're 3 basic pieces:





1) The form - This is the web page where the guest enters their name and other information





2) The server-side program - This is a program sitting on the web server that reads the information that your guest uploads using the form, and writes it to a file or database on the web server. This program can be written in any language -- PERL, Java, VisualBasic, etc.





3) Database or file to store uploaded information





Also, once you have a collection of guest information, you'll need some way to read it. Ask your ISP for more info.
Reply:You have to buy web hosting from websites like http://aplis.net/ and then install guestbook(it is php and mysql)
Reply:I guess you can use php, asp, jsp, perl/cgi...as long as your server supports it.





Here 's a simple guestbook, using php.
