HTML is used for pages that present fixed content and do not need to change each time they are requested. - i.e. your set a page for your on-line resume ASP/PHP is used to construct pages "on the fly" where the content displayed is different depending on user input. - i.e. an on-line catalog. Most systems are set up to serve both types of pages and many site use both types of pages where appropriate. So while ASP/PHP pages may consume more system resources, the benefits of using them in the appropriate situation usually outweigh the extra system load.
