The only reason I use php for my own sites is because I don't want to administer any server and I don't want to be tied to a provider.
PHP is a good fit for this, because it's available at practically all cheap hosting providers (I don't need to administer the server with shared hosting) and I'm not tied to a single provider, because I can switch to an other hosting provider without too much effort.
With other langauges I either have to manage my own VPS (I don't want to pay for managed VPS), or I'm tied to a provider (Appengine, etc.).
