A long time ago, I made websites with Microsoft Visual Basic using Microsoft Access MDB files for the database, all on a cheap GoDaddy shared server. It actually worked very well.
Then I used Visual C# and MSSQL still on GoDaddy.
Now I use HTML, CSS and javascript on the client side, and PHP with MySQL database server side, still on GoDaddy. I use jQuery because I know it very well but these days it's almost as easy to use plain vanilla javascript. I use Bootstrap for a HTML/CSS/js framework.
I know most people use newer stuff but I'm fine with what I use and it works for me.
Best wishes in all your programming adventures!
