What I would use: Python-based Django/flask depending on the complexity, SQL database (postgresql, even SQLite for minimal projects), Apache/WSGI, Ubuntu-based VPS (e.g. AWS EC2) with semi automatic deployment, automated backups on e.g. AWS S3, HTML5/CSS3 with a minimal CSS framework such as Skeleton, Vanilla JS. Mature tech stack, minimal dependencies, slow upgrade pace, and most importantly, a stack I'm quite familiar with. No surprises. Never failed me.
