You really have no control over how an image appears online, because
practically everyone will be viewing it in a non-color-managed program like
Internet Explorer. About the best you can do is to convert to sRGB, since
that's intended to be a good approximation of a "typical" display.

To mimic the gamut limitations of the printer, I suppose you could convert
to the print space, and then convert to sRGB. Converting to the print space
and then to your monitor space is what soft proofing does.
