Go for whatever gets you there the fastest. Except for PHP. PHP is evil and must die.

@nickhh PHP is only evil if you use WordPress as a reference. Plus: for cheap (shared) hosting, PHP is often the only thing to choose from.

You want to get something working as quickly as possible so you don't get bored or someone does the same thing. If it takes off you can always rewrite it. Twitter was originally written in Ruby on Rails but it's back end was rewritten in Scala among others.

code5648yI would say PHP is great for developing your website if you're not keen to learn something like NodeJS.
I have also heard Heroku is good free web app hosting, you should check it out :P -
rayanon13608yOf your skill set I would also suggest RoR. It's a much better language than PHP, and you can prototype in it faster. Also an opportunity to get more experienced in RoR.
Regarding hosting there a lot of cheap options: Digital ocean, Vultr, Linode.
