I don't understand. What do you call a web service?

Are you refering to a webhost? If so if you were going to do it your self you would need a web server program like IIS or PWS at least or I think that mac has a new one OSXserver but that's for macs.

You would need a connection to the internet capable of serving out the pages, eg; cable, satelite broadband.

You then would need a static IP address, to view your IP go here:
24.226.62.28/projectodyssey/allservervariables.asp and go down the list until you see remote_addr and look at the listing next to it.

So an example of this is http://24.226.62.28 which is where my website is hosted by a member of this board who has his computer as a webserver.

All servers have an IP address, then domain names eg www.yourname.com tered in the international names database and grabs the IP which it is told to which in this case is: 66.118.156.162 , go ahead type it in and you will get www.yourname.com

I'm not aware of a website dealing with this but I know that someone here would be.
