Imagine you want to implement a web-based content management system yourself...

Requirements are multiuser capabilities (>1000), Great performance, a forum/board has to be included, I want to be free to design all functionality and specific stuff like authorization. Gathering data over APIs from other webservices should be easy to implement, Easy to host and comfortable to program.

... what web technology would you prefer? and why?

Is php and java a suitable combination? Would you prefer it?

(And yes that question is subjective, if that forum doesn't fit can you recommend another place to ask experienced people? I was already directed to pro webmasters from another stack-site)

This is subjective in its current form. Please rewrite it with concrete questions so it can remain open. – John Conde♦ Mar 3 '11 at 23:05

I can't reform the question into a non-subjective one. And I know that there is no perfect technology that is better than any other. I have never implemented a web-app with those needs and I wanted to get some ideas from people that maybe have the experience I don't have. Hope my correction better fits your need to respond :-) – Sven Mar 4 '11 at 8:39

I made a CMS in classic ASP and javascript, and AJAX once. I regret it. I'd go with ASP.Net with AJAX and JQuery. That should give you enough flexibility to create a scalable and usable CMS.
