Quick update.
I just surveyed the internets, and think I will stick with .NET for the development platform. It's as good as any, and better than most, and I already know how to use it.
I also just looked into free/cheap hosting options. Microsoft Azure looks interesting. It's a cloud computing platform that has a free option for low-traffic use. I am going to try to get a personal copy of Visual Studio and SQL Server, and see if I can throw something up there. If it takes off, I'll have to start paying usage fees, but that will present maybe some ad revenue.
