I ask particular question can I use host command in database or not .No and yes.
No. The host command is a client (sqlplus) command. It is not part of the server-side PL/SQL language.
Yes, PL/SQL provides interfaces to the server for executing server executables:
- external jobs via DBMS_SCHEDULER
- Java stored procedures allowing access to external commands via the Runtime class
- EXTPROC interface for external procedures (typically access to DLLs)
Keep in mind that launching IE from a Windows service, is HIGHLY questionable. Oracle run as a Windows service. A service does NOT have native and direct desktop (GDI) access. See GDI+. Microsoft states in this article:

GDI+ functions and classes are not supported for use within a Windows service. Attempting to use these functions and classes from a Windows service may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions or errors.

So perhaps you need to explain WHAT the actual problem is, instead of how to make the hack you have in mind, work.
