In building/developing a website, you need to consider a lot. Easy pick will be your fluency in either of both languages and performance. PHP would be an easy pick, especially because it's a server side scripting language.

It would depend on your deployment target. PHP is open source and the deployment to Open Source servers such as Apache is pretty easy. The deployment of PHP ti Microsoft IIS was always troublesome so if you are targeting the Microsoft platform then asp.net may be the better choice as it fully integrated in the platform.
With the release of the .net framework to the open source community, the goals may have changed. The advantage of PHP on open source servers is that they tend to have an improvement
in speed, although you can deploy the .net core server which may speed things up.
In the end it is a matter of your deployment target, as a lot of hosting companies provide both.

it's almost the same question as : linux or windows? Depends...but php in this case is used by so many web dev. I would choose php just for this reason. more people, more online ressources, more companies supporting php on their hosting services...

PHP is by far the most annoying language I've ever had the displeasure of working with. I prefer .NET because the IDE is easily the best I've used, .NET is now open sourced so the argument that PHP is open source bears no weight, and language syntax is very similar to other languages, and PHP deviates from that. Hosting any .NET application or website is extremely easy ... Only thing I can say about PHP is that it might let you get a very simple project off the ground fairly quickly, but good luck building anything substantial with it; and trying to debug it's God aweful syntax. I don't care what the rest of you say... PHP blows, and some of these comments lead me to believe some of you haven't tried any other language. PHP was quickly adopted by a large community and was great for a while, but I'm seeing very little benefit for PHP over .NET or Java... if you're comfortable with PHP, by all means use it. I'm simply giving my opinion.

For pure website development I'd strongly recommend PHP because of the fact that it's so commonly used hence so powerful that project can be scaled to huge size and just by making good documentation enhanced and improved by community (see WordPress etc).

PHP is best for mini project
ASP is best for larger project if you join with MVC it's very good practice
It's mostly deponent upon customer request but both have their own strength.

I like PHP in my opinion. I find it more fluent and flexible. But that's just me, others may not like PHP as much. I just like that its open source
