Java is generally heavier and slower than PHP for smaller projects (consumes more resources and allocates a ton of stuff while bootstrapping a simple app). Almost all hosting vendors back then supported PHP and just a handful did that for Java. Java hosting plans were generally 4–6 times more expensive (for seemingly the same expected output). Many simple applications required a blog, a gallery, a forum connected to their website back then. There was WordPress (before becoming a CMS), Gallery2, phpBB/vBulletin that people knew very well and ran on PHP. Finding freelance jobs for PHP was significantly easier (for me) than Java. Most companies looking for Java developers were only hiring full-time people or contractors for 6–9 month projects (due to the specifics and volume of a traditional Java application). Since Java is more verbose, plenty of simple activities required setting up XML configuration files, additional classes for Hibernate connections or sifting through complex components dynamically generating AJAX callbacks or simple dropdown menus. Sure, there are workarounds - but it was definitely taking significantly longer for simple activities. read less
