the server side language is the first thing we need to know!

It depends of what language you want to target.
ASP.net, PHP, ColdFusion (a bit outdated, but he, you never know), JSP, Ruby, Python....
Take your pick.

what code does your current host support?
Do you have any previous programming experience / knowledge

I have knowledge in Java and also know a bit of C.
See am still in the early stage of creating my website so havent chosen a host, I would do that depending on the coding i use i guess.
what would you advise then?
If you know a bit of C, PHP would probably quickest to get to grips with, because the syntax is pretty much based on a C/C++ syntax
Or ASP.NET with C# as the base language

I second that, with a small advantage to PHP, as it's available on nearly 99% of the shared hosts you can found.
ASP.net requires a windows server, and this might reduce the choice you have. But every "major" hoster proposes both windows/ASP.net and linux/PHP plans.
I'm pointing that out only if you already have an host, or have one imposed to you

There is a php / mysql for dummies book. If you go through it and do all the examples you will have a good start. Be aware that it doesn't necessarily teach "proper" coding, but its a starting place and you should be able to make it through it in a couple of weeks.
