You'll want to check out the publishing repositories wiki page to get into web interfaces and access controls, but at it's most basic you can do something like this:

hg clone yourlocalrepo ssh://you@server//home/you/repo

That clones your local repo to a remote location of your choosing. Note that there are two double slashes in that URL.

You can't create a remote repo like that using http://, only ssh://. If all you have is http to hgweb.cgi you can 'hg init' an empty repo on the server and then hg push to it.
