I am about to make a new Web application. My PHP skills are a little above average – I would’nt put myself under enterprise level coding. However my Classic ASP skills are strong and I have programmed VB in Classic ASP before for powerful websites.

I am going to make a ad network market place – buying and selling ad space online. It would be CDN backed with CDN JS and CDN image distribution with DNS and load balanced mySQL cluster servers.

What are everyones thoughts? I take it, Nginx can’t run Windows?

Classic ASP to note, IMO, still handles and performs well on some sites. My concern is for future and speed and performance. Security on Classic ASP and PHP – well, Classic ASP with VB wins for me.

    The question invites a pretty subjective answer. However, I’ll try to be objectively subjective.

    Since 5.3, PHP is the best choice in my opinion.

    Also, if you’re really intending to build it for scalability, I’d suggest looking at a cloud service like Amazon Web Services for your server (EC2), CDN (S3 + CloudFront) and database (RDS). If you’re considering going as far as using Nginx there are some good configuration options at http://scalr.net/ for working with a few different clouds, including AWS.
