What is the deal with databases on the Internet websites?

I am using Visual Studio 2008. I am a old programmer and a database person. I bought 5 books on ASP and VB and my understanding is that even if I like Access I can not use it for much more than reporting. Update and adding new records and deleting is not supported. All the books tell me to use SQL Server as my database ant that works fine on my local machine but when I tired to use the Internet it did not work. So I am paying 10 dollars a month for each database that I want on the Internet. I am still not sure that it will work.

I have a lot of databases that I would like to use the Internet to keep track of information that I need to track. I know Google has some databases that can be used on the Internet. And I have Mathematica that has a programming for database.

I would really like to use Visual Studio to create databases and run them on the Internet without having to pay an extra 10 dollars a month per database. Any One out there knows what the rules and laws are?

I have Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005 and Access; but still can not create databases that I can update, delete, insert new records.

Hi Dean,
You can use Access for inserts, updates, deletes...No problem.
I've created servers here that used SQL Server and Access together for community features.
Take for example a site that uses SQL Server for the forums, but Access for a messy Shoutbox.

Which servertype do youhave? (IIS7/2008 or Windows Server 2003)

If you haven't seen there are tons of ASP.NET videos here:

And if you need anything specfic I can post code for you or create a Video:
