No, you can have web server on e.g. shared hosting
and you can connect to it from every place. You can show web page on your
phone, tablet …

Yes but in the scenario you describe - all computers are on the same network. I
need to be able to connect to a remote server. I have mobile devices that need
to communicate with the database (over a mobile network.) So unfortunately, I
dont think I could manage with the embedded approach,
Please define local/remote here.For mee, it looks like this.On shared hosting i
have web server e.g IIS. This web server operate locally with embeded Firebird
server. Remote are only connections from clients to those web server. All is
working for me without any problems.Regards,Karol
Because I need a true client /server arrangement - from what I can see the
embedded solution is really only for peer to peer connections on a local
system. You cannot connect remotely or share data on a central server (there
are also security restrictions from what I can see,)
>>I trying to find a web host that will run a firebird server is very hard
Why? Do you hear about embeded Firebird?
I use FB embeded on the hosting environment without the problem
