Hello... i am starting to make a IM... i am not having a problem making the program itself..but the thing i am confused and bummfuzzeled is...where would i put the server part of the program? ...on a web site? or what...

i dont want to hav a IM that only runs when i am online...thats lame...but then again if i put it on a web site..why not make it in JAVASCRIPT.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
