LAMP and PHP

Why would you want to build another one?
Any site will do well with a LAMP configured server (Linux Apache MySQL PHP), using, of course, PHP for the programming language.
I recommend hasweb.com for hosting.

Most Digg like sites (web 2.0 sites) use AJAX on a LAMP platform. There are a ton of AJAX tutorials out there, and some great libraries (xajax, prototype, rico). As to servers, I use bluehost.com (if you use
