JavaScript. But note that, server side
scripting like PHP and ASP are
not supported by Google Drive. You can
host some basic web pages written to provide some information or data to
the people .

Right click on web page and open with Google drive viewer,
click on preview
copy the URL from address bar and share it with the recipients. You may also use the link shortener to shorten the link. Check my sample page that I have hosted in Google drive.
One more thing if you want to use the same webpages but host on a different domain then link the pages by using a <iframe> tag.But make sure to make the Width and Height of the frame to 100%.
example:
<iframe style=”width:100%; height:100%;” src=”https://www.googledrive.com/host/YOURURL”>
