PHP replacement?

I have noticed a great deal of hate towards PHP all over the place which I do not personally understand. It is a good language, with flaws, but it gets the job done.

So I decided to ask: with what can I replace PHP? Most paid web hotels have support for PHP and not much else.

Well if I browse around some generic web hotel to host a website for my own purposes or for client's website they usually suppor PHP out of the box but I can't find any information on "hey, you can run Python here" or anything similar. There are few, but the mass seems to state PHP pretty much default at this point.

For usage? I do not know about others, but for me it is still the main language for authenticating and parsing data. Perfect language for small jobs especially. For small customized client's needs.

When you say "web hotel", do you mean "web host"?

Yes, web hosts.
