Can you anybody please about inhouse distribution of iphone development
Regards,

What you need to look into is iPhone app adhoc distribution.
There are three kinds of distribution:
Ad hoc. You add the unique ID of up to 100 devices in the iPhone Provisioning Portal. You can then email your users the built app with the certificate that you generate with those IDs. This is usually used for beta testing.
App Store. You already know this and it's not what you want.
Enterprise. "Developers at companies with 500 or more employees who are creating proprietary in-house applications for iPad, iPhone or iPod touch should apply to the iPhone Developer Enterprise Program."
From your question I'm not sure whether you mean option 1 or 3.
For enrollment in the Enterprise program you need '500 or more employees and a DUNS number' and $299 (see here).
If you don't meet all of these criteria, you're basically stuck with ad hoc distribution. You can distribute to a maximum of 100 devices per paid Apple Developer Program account.

I have confuse about in-house distribution and ad-hoc distribution.
Does in-house and ad-hoc distribution application need to get apple review team to review?
What is different between in-house distribution and ad-hoc distribution?
Any example/guide line for create in-house application certificate and process for distribution?
Did in-house distribution need to collect user UDID to configure?
If I started distribute "A" application using in-house / ad-hoc distribution, can I distribute the "A" application to App store later?
No they do not.
With the in-house distribute you are allowed to install the app on any iOS device that is used by employees of the company without the device's UDID. The Ad-Hoc is for testing app on selected number of devices(100 unique device per account per year).
Yes, see Apple iOS Developer Enterprise Program
No, in-houe distributed app do not have any UDID restrictions.
YES, but you will need to enter the AppStore developer program and not the Enterprise one used for the in-house distribution.
Ad Hoc Distribution Authorizes a Limited Set of Devices to Run Your App
iOS developers enrolled in the Standard Program can also distribute an app outside of the App Store on up to 100 different devices for testing purposes only. To use ad hoc distribution, create an archive of your app, or have a teammate send you an iOS App Store Package (.ipa) of the archived app.
You distribute your app by providing the .ipa file for users to install on their devices. Because you select a valid ad hoc provisioning profile to archive the app, users don’t need to install the profile on their device, only the .ipa file. Users can use iTunes to install the app on their devices. If users want to use Xcode to install the app on their device, share the archive as an .xcarchive file package.
In-House Distribution Allows Companies to Distribute Apps Internally
iOS developers enrolled in the Enterprise Program can distribute in-house without identifying individual devices or using the App Store. To distribute your app in-house, create an archive of your app, or have a teammate send you an archived app. Distribute your internal app using your company’s authorized software distribution mechanism. Because the app file can be installed on any iOS device, make sure you protect the distribution of this file. Members of your company can use iTunes, iPhone Configuration Utility, or Xcode to install the app on their devices.
I'm developing an iPhone/android app and, in the case of iphone one, I need to host it asap. I am about to finish it but the average time to be published in the AppStore is about 7 days once been aproved. I was looking for any othe host but I'm not sure if they would be work as AppStore, I mean: downloading by everycustoner without doing throught Cydia or things like that.
Any suggestion or experiences?
Thanks
If you have an enterprise account, you can use Enterprise Distribution for in-house apps. But you probably don't, or you wouldn't be asking this question.
If it's a very limited number of devices and you have personal contact with all potential users:
You could deploy it on devices yourself.
You could use ad-hoc beta distribution (made easy with TestFlight, for instance).
Other than that - there are no other legitimate options.
If you want widespread, "ordinary" distribution of a native app on iOS, you'll have to go through the app store, period.
Other than for time-limited plus number-of-devices-limited beta test distribution (Ad Hoc and/or testflight), the only host option for unlimited distribution of an iOS app to ordinary customers with stock devices is waiting for an app to be approved and hosted on Apple's iTunes App store.
I'm developing an app and testing on devices under my iOS Developer Program Account but it will be released with another account. The client want to test the app in his device but using my account (he doesn't have account already and maybe I will not have access it it), so I need to register his device on my account. This device can be registred with another account at the same time, or if it can't be possible, if I remove it from my devices can be used in other account immediately?
Thanks
You can register a device to as many developer accounts as you like. Just beware that you can only register up to 100 different devices to 1 developer account per year.
"You are allowed to register up to 100 iOS devices for testing and Ad Hoc distribution per membership year. Please Note: Although you may remove a device from your account, it will continue to count against your 100 device limit." Here you can find help to implement this.

As for your question, I have the same devices connected with multiple accounts, so it's not a problem to do so. The only "limitation" is what I've listed above.
You can register a device with multiple accounts. Also, one account can have a max of 100 devices registered simultaneously.
"You are allowed to register up to 100 iOS devices for testing and Ad Hoc distribution per membership year.
How many iOS devices can I register for testing and Ad Hoc distribution?
You are allowed to register up to 100 iOS devices for testing and Ad Hoc distribution per membership year. Please Note: Although you may remove a device from your account, it will continue to count against your 100 device limit.
Can I use the Apple ID associated with my iOS Developer Program to join the iOS Developer Enterprise Program?
No. You must set up a new Apple ID to join the iOS Developer Enterprise Program.
What are the requirements for developing with the iOS SDK and Xcode?
To develop with the iOS SDK and Xcode, you must have an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard or later and you must be registered as an Apple Developer.
As a Registered Apple Developer, what do I have access to in the iOS Dev Center?
As a Registered Apple Developer you have access to the latest version of the iOS SDK and the related resources and information available in the iOS Dev Center.
For access to the tools and information necessary to test apps on devices, you will need to join either the iOS Developer Program, the iOS Developer Enterprise Program, or both.
Is it possible that if I have registered my app to Appstore. But I dont want that my app to be downloaded from AppStore. I want that it should only be downloaded from my website/Hosting.
what are the comments on this??
Short answer No, you can use the ad-hoc method explained by Kashiv.
Long anser, yes with the enterprise license, but you are not allowed to distribute the to people outside of you company. If apple finds out about they could take legal actions.
iOS itself prohibits downloading or running apps except from Apple's App store, or from an enrolled Enterprise's App store (which is for employees of a D&B rated corporation only), or, for a limited time, for an enrolled iOS developer's allowed 100 max registered test devices, or as online source code for other enrolled iOS developers to build and run on their test devices.
This is built into the iOS security for any stock OS device.
So it does not matter what you want. You can't do it (except with the limited exceptions mentioned above).
You can do it, but...
There are 2 ways:
You can purchase Standard Developer Program and distribute your app via email or hosting, but you are limited up to 100 devices. It's called Ad Hoc Distribution. Taken from Apple's developer program overview:
With Ad Hoc distribution you can share your application with up to 100 other iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch users. Through email or by posting it to a website or server, users can download and install your app.
You can purchase Enterprise Developer Program ($299/year) and distribute your app with In-House Distribution. It will be available on App Store, but only "registered" users can download them.
Note: I have given up on compiling iPhone Apps without a developer certificate for the SDK 3.x... for now. But it wasn't for a lack of trying. Anyway...
I work for a client who will will be making iPhone Apps but will not deliver them through the AppStore for the time being. I will be testing and deploying iPhone apps to a device I own, and they will need to distribute to their iPhones/iPod Touches. If I buy a $99 developer certificate, will that be enough to distribute an app onto iPhones that are not connected to my computer?
If not, how can this be done for testing -- distributing to other iPhones -- with the least number of certificates? I have checked this out a bit, but I haven't been able to fully undertand it (I'm kind of busy trying to learn to program for the iPhone :)
You want to use an Ad Hoc distribution certificate (available as part of the $99 program). This will enable you to install on up to 100 devices. To install all the user needs is a device with the correct provisioning profile and iTunes (Mac or PC)
Purchasing the $99 iPhone Developer Program will give you the ability to create ad hoc builds which will be able to run on up to 100 provisioned devices.
