    How about hosting it on your own box but showing the output on the hosted website by using <FRAME> or some javascript code.

    You got the video device locally, while your website is hosted on a remote server. I suggested you to use some software that opens a web page on your own computer and thats where you show the video. Now, after you make sure it works online and people can see the video on your computer, put a frame on your website, so the video will be seen on your hosted site but actually it will run from your own box.

    Another option is just getting a software that can send the video wherever you want.

    Your home network connection isn't likely to be at all fast enough to stream video across the internet, if you want to stream live video you'll need at the very least a 2meg sdsl connection, and even then probably a maximum of five people watching at once.

    No, I meant you need a 2meg upstream, sdsl ( symmetric digital subscriber line ) most providers only give users adsl ( asymmetric digital subscriber line ).
    ADSL upstreams are normally a quarter ( or less ) of the downstream.

    Anyway, the best video software I have come across is VideoLAN, they also make a streaming server, cross platform : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html
