Im a java dev in my day job (in a bank) and a real estate broker(on the side) as well... Im planning to create my real estate website from scratch. should i do it on java(spring) or other language?
I know php and ruby too. I had plenty of php projects and i had one ror project 5yrs ago.

P.s
which hosting do you recommend. *cheap is better for i am just starting real estate broker.

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

    Also it's a good opportunity to learn Python:)

    @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.

    Of those options I'd pick RoR and go with DigitalOcean for hosting.

    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.

    I 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

    Of 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.

    I'd just go for php, especially since you already know it.
