No doubt a very simple question for you guys, but as I'm only just starting out in Database and Internet Apps, it's one I could do with a little help on.

If I am to try and connect to an access DB do I actually have to own the web server in which to host it? As from what I gather you need to form an DSN for it in which to connect to.

I'm sure I won't have to... so is it possible to simply host your database on (For example your ISPs) web space and connect to it there?

Any help whatsoever will be useful at this early stage.

TIA.
