I don't think you should dismiss a language so fast for hosting reasons. Yes, they are a thing to consider, but "The Thing"? We offer all our clients hosting on our slicehost server, for at least a year free (so far we haven't bothered to ask after a year either). It's clean, fast, cheap, and lets you do development and updates much faster. No system administration to speak of (long live apt-get).
