nope, it doesnt work that way. to get a fide rating you must play in rated OTB (over the board) tournament games which are hosted by FIDE

They don't need to be hosted by FIDE, the tournament organizer just has to send in the results to FIDE (and the tournament regulations should comply with the FIDE regulations).

 Actually, you can get official ratings online. I have a USCF correspondence rating earned entirely online, and according to Wikipedia "All ICCF titles, championships and ratings are recognised by FIDE."

 ICCF allows computer use which makes the titles earned rather hollow imo. A correspondence GM who sits at the board with a "real" GM would get slaughtered without the aid of his computer . I believe uscf now rates some games played on the internet as otb rating, which I think is very wrong to do.....
