Shouldn't be 'unfortunate' - PHP is a perfectly fine for this sort of thing. You can address the 'ultrascalable/node/nginx/caching/i've-got-2-million-users-on-one-server-running-on-my-ipod' type of user demands after you're profitable with this first version.

The 'self-hosting' thing shouldn't even be just about saving money - there's a strong case to be made for security/privacy by self-hosting this sort of software internally.

I say "unfortunately" not because of PHP, but because other languages like Python and Ruby are still not as widely used. PHP's "upload-and-go" approach is a big reason for its wide success.
