Hi,

I have created a windows application that runs on a client server basis. The server side is a windows server which I am currently running on my PC with a static IP address. I need clients to be able to download my application from a website and connect to the server to run the program.

I would like the service to be running on my ISP if possible instead of on my local pc. Do I need to have a virtual or private server to do this or is there a way of uploading this onto a FTP server?

If so how do I go about doing this please?

I suggest you call your ISP and ask them whether this is possible. This is a question of what facilities your ISP offers, rather than a technical issue.
