Do you know any way I can use Visual Basic on-line? real-time? Something like Java applet or anything similar...
Thanks

What do you mean, "real-time"? The phrase has a distinct meaning in the programming world, and online doesn't qualify.

Random observations engendered by your post, in general: Leet speak is the art of disorganizing complexity. While it once had valid uses (anti-censorship), it is now almost invariably the sign of a prepubescent mind, regardless of calendar age. Just sayin'.

Incidentally, your stated goal of making your site fast to load is marginally achieved, at best. I get about 30 seconds, uncached.

Thanks a lot for your comments.
Regarding to my webpage load time, it only takes about 5 seconds on my PC, with nothing cached..
Of course, the load time you refer to, must be on a 56kbps connection.. and I don't think there are many people out there still connecting with that speed.. anyway..

About the first post, what I mean is.. Can I take a program I created with Visual Basic, i.e. the basic Form, and use it on a webpage, where someone can enter i.e. his information and submit the date he/she enters on a database on the server?
If this is not possible, which is the SIMPLEST language in which I could do this?
I would also like to be able to create an encrypted registration form, that would be used to save usernames, passwords e.t.c. so that someone can log in and access protected data..
How can I do this?

Thank you in advance

ASP.NET is what you are looking for

I'm actually on high-speed cable, Time Warner in central New York, probably among the fastest "normal" commercial cable services.

As far as submitting forms from a web client (browser), that's what (X)HTML is for. I don't know if you're familiar with the client-server nature of the paradigm. If you want to send encrypted information you need secure interchange.

Registration processes are a dime a dozen (see any of lebenty-jillion forums, for instance). One uses server-side code to accomplish this and to accomplish interactions with the database. PHP and other languages are commonly used. ASP.NET is among them, but not the most widely portable. The whole thing is a 3-tier process: client, server, and database.
