If I get a website (not free), is it possible to upload a Windows .dll and/or executable program, and run them? If so, how? Executable would be like a MS-DOS program that outputs some data. I wouldn''t know if the server is Unix or whatever.

What the dll does is pretty much irrelevant. A dll is just a dll. As I said, I didn''t create it,
so I can''t recode it, but I need to use it. What is important is being able to interface with it,
so I guess I must find a Windows-based web hosting service. Thanks.

Yeah you do, but that''s not a bad thing. GameDev.net is hosted on Windows 2003 Server. All sites that use ASP scripts are hosted on Windows computers, basically. And as you know, GD is perfectly stable.
