I would recommend you to use PHP, but I'm also biased. ASP.NET is not open source and VB.NET is a BASIC syntax so if you want to learn a different programming language in the future, it might be hard to migrate. But if you learn PHP, you can easily migrate to C, C++, Java etc.

PHP is 100% free, it's constantly updated, you have a great choice of IDE's (like free Netbeans, etc.), you have easy MySQL intergration etc.
