Sorry, but this answer is not clear enough for me. Where is that "regular hosting service"?
As if you were going to put up your own website, like
this. Just make sure whichever hosting service you choose includes support for CGIs. I also prefer hosts that let you access folders a level above your web root so you can put files out of reach of the web server but still within reach of your CGIs.

The API mentioned will be in the that service?
You can use PureBasic's CGI commands to create the API. Once compiled your CGI executables are put in your website's cgi-bin folder.
Let's say you register the domain "yourdomain" for your website, you create a CGI named "yourcgi.exe" and upload it to your cgi-bin. Then you'd send data to it by making a POST httprequest to:
http://www.yourdomain/cgi-bin/yourcgi.exeIf you're making the POST request from a web page hosted on your domain you only need the relative path:
/cgi-bin/yourcgi.exeIf you use SpiderBasic to create the UI you can serialize any data you want to exchange between the SB client and the PB API as JSON.
