I know Java/Spring/Hibernate and can write a server based on these technologies. However, the distribution model of my application implies that the user himself will raise the server and use it. A Java server is extremely difficult to set up and requires a lot of RAM.
Is it worth making the back end in PHP for the sake of compatibility? The logic of the site is not complicated.
And what version of PHP is the most popular on free hosting? 5.3?

Yes, of course, for simplicity, it is worth focusing on php and its environment, i.e. apache, nginx
Now massively costs php 5.3-5.4 but optionally they already offer higher versions. Below 5.4 it makes no sense to navigate now.

Those who use free hosting (high school students) will not be able to bring you profit. You don't have to rely on them.

What is the problem with writing once a normal step-by-step instruction for raising the server?
In addition, there are things that are better done in java and not in php.
