Thoughtfully Filemaker included web serving capabilities in thier Web Companion plugin. So as long as you have a machine with a static IP address and the Win/MacOS operating system you can host your databases to the web.
Are you talking about the server side as having a static IP and being Win/Mac OS, or the browser side.
Sorry I am new to this web database implementation.

Thanks for your time,
Talk you soon
