The difference is the use of "je" and "u". Both mean "you", but "je" is informal and "u" is formal. So you would use "alsjeblieft" among friends or if you are not very different in age. "Alstublieft" is something you will hear and use in shops and restaurants. If someone is much older than you, it's also usual to start with "u", until they tell you it's fine to use "je" or "jij". I suggest you do a google search, because this topic is too broad for me to type in one answer! It's similar to the use of Spanish "tu" and "usted". But feel free to ask more.

Oh, and on the Internet I would suggest using "alsjeblieft". "Alstublieft" sounds a bit stiff and formal at times. The Internet is quite an informal place, so "alsjeblieft" makes more sense here. The Dutch tend to be a bit informal in general.
