Hosting a web service for an iPhone App
<p>I need to write a fairly simple Delivery Tracking application.  The device needs to know information about the 'matters' such as status (delivered/awaiting delivery), type (for delivery/for pickup), address, payment accepted etc.</p>

<p>The iPhone part of the app seems very simple but in terms of hosting some kind of web service is the part I am unsure about.</p>

<p>Does Apple have some kind of service or recommending way of handling this?</p>

<p>The web service would need to store all the information about the matters and receive updates from the device when matters are delivered and then there is a possibility that new matters could be sent out manually from the depot.</p>

<p>These are the parts I am unsure about - any ideas? </p>
