Best backend language for my WEB project idea

Hi everyone, this is my first question in the community, so I'm excited.

I have a web idea that I want to develop from scratch, however I don't know what backend language to use.

The idea has the follow features

-Show information of products (images, text, anchors, phones). -Let to sell specific products (this could be like an extra feature just if the product can be sold). -Have a personalized blog or CMS (for marketing purposes).

In general this idea is for informational purposes where you can research more an specific product, however it also needs a custom functionality to sell specific products if is possible. Every product or brand will have an special space (like a landing page) to show it information.

Personally I want your opinion because I have seen a lot of similar projects made in PHP (such as blogs, e-commerce or just for dinamic websites), however I don't know if would be better implement another technology like Django with Python or Ruby on Rails, or maybe Java or C#; I know that every language has it own advantages and disadvantages, so I would appreciate your personal opinion. Thanks a lot!
