can a program become a windows service?

[kw1991]

i have a very basic client server program in c++ console application where the client sends a message to the server, the server accepts the message and echoes it back to the client.

can the server become an application that runs as a service and still echo back the clients messages?

can someone please link some tutorials for creating a windows service?
