my web services are on a webserver and my concern is that if someone who has
a valid domains login to my web server, and know how to call up this web
services, which will make him the ability to access my data. so my questions
is that is there a way to protect my webservices from the unknown user? and
how will this way affect my performance on reading and writing my data?

You can add authentication, encryption and other. However if the user can log
on to your server, you need to make sure they dont have Windows rights to get
ot your diretory and see your configuration files etc. You also need to
secure your database.
