Java is still king. Nodejs is cool and growing fast.

Depends what you are trying to accomplish. Do you need a database? Authentication? Do you want a single page application? Django and Rails are too big of it's gonna be relatively simple site. Flask and Node.js/Express can you up and running in no time.

Best response, thanks man.

No database is required. What do you recommend in that case?

Is ruby on rails bigger than node.js?

Thanks!

Yes a database is required. Is ruby on rails bigger than node.js? Node.js is JavaScript. Ouch.

If with database what is recommended?
If no database what is recommended?

Thanks!

If you want any dynamic content you'll probably use some javascript no matter which language you choose.

Nodejs is perfect for mongodb since it is json/bson. I like it because of the callback architecture. It is great for single page apps with dynamic content, but the drawback is the difficulty in syncing with data in real time. Check out MEAN stack tutorials on the webz. Considering you are thinking ahead about what is useful later on, it is a great language to learn, imo.
Honestly most languages work with every well known db. php, ruby, python, whatever, all have hooks for mysql, ms sql, postgre, db2, oracle, sqllite, mongodb, you name it. You can pick the language that you like the most and run with it, hard to go wrong. PHP probably has the richest db libraries and is maybe the most portable.

I personally build websites using Wordpress. I am currently creating a football website with the help of sport wordpress theme from https://www.templatemonster.com/category/sport-wordpress-themes/ I think it is really good for it and you will like using Wordpress for your purposes too. Good luck with it, guys
