You need to change your architecture if you are going to go to a web hosted database (online). You need to change your database to a SERVER database (SQL Server or MySQL).

You need to implement a web service to transfer the data between your database and the winforms client (WCF or Web API).

These need to be hosted somewhere. You also need to have reasonably strong security to protect your data.
