Hello Dan,
I'm an accountant - may I help.
Dave is nearly right - the threshold at the moment is £77,000. There's more information here about when to register http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/start/register/when-to-register.htm and what happens when you're selling services outside the UK http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/managing/international/exports/services.htm
One issue to watch out for is who your customers are. If they're businesses, then your service may well be outside the scope of VAT even if the customer is in the EU (but outside the UK) - but if they're consumers, then you'll have to charge UK VAT as Martin suggests.
I hope that helps.
