I want to write an mmo game server, but I can't seem to find any links that will tell me where to start off. Do I have to have my own server? Could I make a game server using GoDaddy as a host? Any information is a help.
I've made demo games with a server/client on LAN, and I am comfortable enough with network programming. My issue is making an online server. I just don't know where to start.

Yes, you are to buy server, where you server-side game will run. Goddady the cheapest solution is virtual dedicated server...

First of all, give a look at what is network-programming, try to create an echo server or a little chat and test all of this locally before buying anything.
That's my advice.

I am creating an app with various tests and I need a way to receive the test results from the users. Is there a way for me to save the test results when the user is done taking the test and be able to access the results from my computer or something? Thanks in advance,
Joshua
In an app I am making I used JSON, JavaScript Object Notation, to communicate between my app and a web server, where I store my info. It is fairly simple to use. Check out this tutorial http://www.raywenderlich.com/2965/how-to-write-an-ios-app-that-uses-a-web-service. This is what I used and I am fairly new to programming in general, and I just had to make a few adjustments to make it work. This is pretty broad, but this should get you in the right direction.
If you are familiar with sql commands.Why dont you try sqlite for creating a database where you can store the results, update them ,retrieve them.you can refer to this site http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/IPhone_Database_Implementation_using_SQLite

It would be nice to be able to share some code snippets / random stuff with colleagues (15 people).
I was thinking to set-up an office chat, and I wonder if you have any system to recommend.
I can use a dedicated server for that.
Is IRC the way to go? or are there different technologies?
Openfire server and Pidgin client lets you chat and send files.
IRC is probably a really cheap way of doing this. Pretty much any client can XDCC and send files to other users like, XChat, chatzilla, pidgin, weechat, mIRC, etc. There's also a free server software that you can setup, like lightIRC, Unreal, Pjirc, Bahamut, etc.
But I think what you really want is project collaboration software. There's a lot of options here, some cost money and some are hosted as a service.

I am developing an Application, which should give the available taxi or cabs at the current location in the city, here, what i have done is, i found the current location(address) using Reverse CLGeocoder. To get the available resources, whether i should make use of any api, or something else. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
There is no available API as far I know.. you can get in touch with cab providers in your location and ask them to provide feeds about their cabs. Then you can create a centralized server which will give you the response.
The idea is good but you will need some investors on your side and some expertise with server set up and a marketing guy who can rope in all these cab providers.

I have to make an application of email client. is it possible to make an application that can manage different email addresses. In application we have to provide inbox for different id. I don't know how I'll connect to all servers. and how it will work? can anybody guide me?
This is really new for me thats why please don't mind if my question is silly
There used to be an app, remail, then open sourced by google: http://code.google.com/p/remail-iphone/
Also on the OneMail app website you'll find a list with the frameworks they're using: http://codev.co.uk/products/onemail/notice
I guess that it is possible, since it is an "stand alone" app and not an improvement to the native app.

The sqlite framework is available on the iPhone, you first need to import it (it's called libsqlite3.0.dylib).
Bear in mind that it's all in C so you have to be comfortable with that.
There are already many tutorials on the Internet on how to use it in an iPhone application.
If you'd rather go the Objective-C way, there is an excellent wrapper around the sqlite C API for the iPhone called FMDatabase: https://github.com/lightory/fmdb
Also, you could have a look at Core Data which, again, will do most of the nasty tasks for you.
