Yes I've discounted PHP too. Basically I'm hoping I can do everything in Delphi. However HTML, CSS & JavaScript are required and thankfully I'm ok with all except CSS so only a bit of learning.
I also want to host on Azure or Amazon or whatever so we're heading in the same direction there. I'm pretty impressed with the Ruby on Rails idea so may end up there eventually but at the moment that's just another learning hurdle.
