While hosting costs for.net are higher than PH P the gulf isn't great. You do however, have a point when comparing mysql and SQL server hosting as SQL server hosting can be considerably more expensive. If you don't need a SQL server hosting then the cost between asp.Net and PHP is negligible. For ease of use and cleaner programming I would always favour .net over vanilla PHP.
