You don't install Firebird on a website (nor do you install MySQL on a
website for that matter). A website is a thing accessed through HTTP.

Given your application uses Delphi, you either need to allow those
multiple parties to be able to securely access your Firebird server (eg
through a VPN), or maybe you need to build a webservice that replaces
your direct database access.

Building a webservice to replace direct database access is an extremely
broad topic, where accessing the Firebird database is probably the least
of your worries.

In any case, your question is quite vague to actually answer. You may
want to clarify exactly what you're looking for and why.
