Before we do that, where is the database located? On your computer or
on a hosting company's server?

An incomplete list in alphabetical order:
ASP
ASP.Net
ColdFusion
JSP
Perl
PHP
Python

Well, we're in PHP newsgroup, what do you expect? :)
Seriously, though, if you already host the site somewhere and don't
want to move it, you're stuck with the choice of scripting language(s)
offered by your hosting plan. If you already have some programming
experience in any language, you should consider building on it, rather
than start anew with a brand-new language.

There is no such thing as "a better way to go". You should think of
what is best for you in terms of your development expertise and
availability of hosting.
