Hello,

I am looking to develop an idea of mine into realisation.

The project will involve a website with a database and a VB application working from the database.

Whats the best database to use these days as part of a website? I guess the answer will be SQL. However, I have been quoted around £40 a month for hosting a website with a SQL database. This seems quite expensive for a personal development idea.

What do you guys use? Access would be cheaper but not so rubust. I have MX Studio so ColdFusion is an option... or is it?

Any ideas welcome.
