Dear List,
JSP is designed to be used for Websites. Depending what you do with
it, changes where it can be used for a Large Web Site.
As for the questions.
1a. Who cares if JSP is not supported by web hosting companies -
Large web sites have their own infrastructure.
1b. Both are programming languages - both have strengths and
weaknesses - you can do the same thing with both -
you could even use plain 'c' if you feel like it. Use which ever you
are most comfortable with.
2. How many users a 'language' has is irrelevant. Glad to see you
are quoting informative sources. :-)
Architecture is the issue - not language.

-> Result: most small and medium sized
websites/webapps that do not need a dedicated server
use php.
1b. JSP has many great features. But php is also very
powerful and has some capabilities that jsp doesn't
have.
-> Result: some heavy-traffic websites/webapps that
require dedicated servers use jsp. Some others use php
(eg. yahoo
[http://news.com.com/2100-1023-963937.html]).
-> 2. There are more php users than jsp users.
