WEB Service vs ???

A WEB service runs on a server, and clients consume the service, correct?  What alternatives are there to a WEB service, if i need to have a server/host take send/receive data from clients?  Is a WEB service cross-platform? Microsoft only?

Wcf and mvc you can use to compare
All three are cross domain and should not have any isssues
Those you can use as service and Amy languages can use it

Let's simplify things for a minute.  Web servers accept requests and reply with responses using the HTTP protocol.  They were originally intended to serve web pages to web browsers.  However, anything that can be fit into that protocol can be done with clients and web servers.  I use custom client programs to download CSV files.

There is software that is called Web Services.  Although they aren't necessarily all the same, they will each have specific requirements for requests and responses.  What ever you do, the requests and the responses should be well defined so the system works well.
