>>or jQuery/C# mvc
Gee, even jQuery/VFP ... possibly better than jQuery/PHP (minus the existing enormous free php app base, of course)
The free php app base is indeed huge, plus you've got options like Joomla that can be hosted anywhere for a few bucks a month.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
