I don't think a direct socket connection is the key. Actually, pocket PC version of my game did have a multiplayer, and it was a socket-based. Theoretically, it could work with anyone in the world, but in fact since most devices doesn't have a real IP adress, it didn't. The only way was to Pair devices into one network and then it worked allright, so it was a local multiplayer which could be global but wasn't. Few people managed to get it working globally, though, since they did have a real IP on their device, but this depends on the IPS and most likely isn't available.

Thank you, I will take a look at ColdFusion. So I just need a coldfusion shared hosting (just quickly googled it, prices look reasonable, like $20/month), and the ColdFusion will take care of the rest?
The ColdFusion isn't quite cheap though. $1300 is not something I gladly throw away..
