That depends. Are all the files that will ever be stored on your FTP site open to the public? If so, allowing anonymous read access shouldn't be a problem. You only need to restrict read access if your site hosts files which are private or confidential.
Anonymous write access, on the other hand, is a Very Bad Idea™. Unless, of course, you actually want your server's hard-drive filled with viruses, pirated software and illegal pornography.

Because that's the directory your FTP site is pointing to. If you want it to point to another root directory, go to Advanced Settings, and change the Physical Path.
Alternatively, you could add the other folders as virtual directories - for example, you could have ftp.yoursite.com/somefiles pointing to E:\FTP\Public Files.

There's no such thing as best. Take a look at these[^] and make your own decision.

Find a webhost, ask them about their procedure. Those will vary, but will consist of things like "upload your site to here, using FTP" and "create your database using this interface".
Mine doesn't come with "step by step" instructions, but the host did have a nice and dedicated forum.
Do verify that your host can support the .NET framework you've been targeting (4,0?)

thanks for the solution. Please which web host do you recommend?

I can't recommend a specific host; mine is "mijndomein.nl", a Dutch company that provides a PHP/MySQL solution - they don't offer .NET AFAIK.
I've hooked up a machine to the DSL at home, routing some functionality from the website to the machine at home. Would require some tinkering with the router, provided that the ISP allows it.

many ISPs block HTTP ports.
If not, you're lucky. Also you'll require to configure port forwarding in your router such that HTTP requests received on your IP address are forwarded to your machine via router

I am not on site. Is this still listed under Computer, right click, Add Netwok Location? If missing, what service needs to be turned on?

TY. I agree absolutely. I knew that the biggest problem I had to date was not being able to run multiple sessions, but this was just odd. I did not even think to use the CMD prompt.
Once again Eddy, you helped me bunches.

Need an opinion. I have two websites that probably get well over 200 hits a year at least, if you include my visits. I have them hosted at a cheap ISP (reliable though) It costs me about $90 a year... I think. They provide free Access and MySQL 4.x. The only drawback is that I am a web developer and one of the sites is a portfolio site and it's a hassle that I don't have even the most basic SQL Server available ($50 a month from the ISP). I was considering hosting my own site. I can get an IP address for $20 a month, so that would be a minor expense. I could get a cheapish notebook and put a small SSD drive in it so it would always be on with minimal power. With just Windows 7 Pro, I think I could have 10 simultaneous connections (gonna rule the web).
Sew... Can you suggest any pluses or drawbacks that I didn't think of?
PS. Reading the "Hosting and Servers" comment, I'll mention that years back I used to work for XXCal Test Labs. That was a place to work with smokey hardware. One test was to test 7 SCSI devices on a single controller. It produces unimaginable heat. On the other side, I know from experience how long it takes to dry a PC back into working order after your manager throws a cup of water into it. I also remeber when we gor the first "Yamato" notebook to test. That's "Thinkpad" to you. Those were fun days.
Heck, I was working for Juggy Tandon when he started selling the first 10 Megabyte harddrive. The Winchester! Twice as big as his first 5 Meg one. Ya know, the burn in room in Simi Valley got hot one weekend and we fried 120 drives. I could go on, but you'd call me a fogey.

As a web developer, you should absolutely host your own website. I can think of a few good reasons for doing so:
0: The experience of configuring and maintaining a web server.
1: You can use third-party or custom libraries.
2: It's much more convenient to work with local files and databases.
On the downside, there is the issue of security and backups. If you host your own site, you should be prepared for attacks from the outside world. Follow best practices for security...rename/disable the Administrator account, use strong passwords, etc...
You may want to look into IIS 8 Express to replace the 7.5 that comes with Win7. It's a little faster and has some extra security features.
I have one site web hosted and one self hosted. The web hosted site is mostly static pages and links to downloads. (the heavy lifting) The self-hosted site serves out around 20 customer reporting applicatios and demos. Good luck!

can C/C++ display images in windows OS ?

Yes. But what does this have to do with "Hosting and Servers"?

Programming the Windows event loop in C is joyous fun akin to tearing a half healed scab off. You get two 32 bit messages of which you use parts to see who sent the message and what values are in it. Then you repond in kind. I recommend doing it that way. We don't need no stinkin C++ for that even though millions of images were displayed in Windows Apps using C++.

I have a hosting service at Database Mart. I'm testing a new Asp.Net Website. The server is giving me an "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable". The service had assured that the server is up at a 99.99% of the time. I tried to load a simple .htm file to ensure that the error is not originated from Asp.net. But I still cannot find a solution. Does somebody here know a better way to debug such error?

Assuming your server and client can communicate across the internet then it should work.
Use the best guess

It's just a regular server-client setup, all you need is for the client to have the IP address of the server and to have the ports used available and unrestricted (firewalls in between might block).
