And plus, it works on cheap shared websites that can cost $10 a year + domain name.

Isn't the "PHP works on cheap hosting" schtick a bit dated now you can get a dual-cpu VPS with 8GB RAM at hetzner.com for 8.90 Euros per month? Commodity hosting now makes JVM apps feasible at the lowest price points.

8.90 EUR per month is about $130 a year, so still an order of magnitude more expensive than cheap PHP hosting.

I was just going for a figure similar to the $10/month cited. You can get a 2GB RAM VPS at Hetzner for as little as 2.50 Euros per month.

The cited price was $10/year, not $10/month. That's a huge difference.

Ok, so yesterday's shared hosting prices are today's VPS rates. The point is they've both become commoditised so the PHP/cheap hosting argument is no longer valid.

So instead of admitting mistake you insist that 10x higher prices are somehow invalid argument. You have convinced me!

Just wait until you see cloud pricing ! That is far "superior" (you know, bigger numbers) than either of the quoted prices.
