Hi Rudy, QGIS does not, but QGIS is only one application of the OSGEO stack, and other applications in this suite can do this.
http://www.osgeo.org For example, you have map data in shapefiles or PostGIS databases You can use Geoserver or Mapserver (or a few other FOSS or expensive programs) to read these data sources & provide them via OGC web services such as WMS & WFS. You can connect to such web services with QGIS (WMS natively & WFS via a plugin) to view the data. You can use mapserver scripts, or javascript tools such as OpenLayers or GeoMoose to provide web clients to display these data. One ESRI web mapping developer I have worked with used mapserver & Openlayers for one application he was building. He said the development environment was very primitive compared with ESRI- hand written mapfiles, etc. However he also said it took about 1/3 the time to implement it than it would have taken with ESRI tools, & it worked pretty much first go with no problems to debug & fix. So simple, inelegant but robust & effective :-) Tyler Mitchell's book on mapserver & related tools is a very good introduction. You can have a system with basic functionality up & running on Windows or Linux in about 10 minutes.
