You just need to move the database to a network drive. If by 'online' you mean accessible from anywhere, then you either need to create a website to manage it, or use something like DropBox or OneDrive.

Please do not shout, and please do not demand answers. If you want a viable solution then you need to be prepared to spend money.

I really wouldn't recommend it.
To "use" an Access DB directly online, you have to expose it with read and write access to the whole internet - which is a good way to have it's data stolen and / or trashed. Directly exposing any DB to the internet is a bad idea!

In addition, Access is a very poor multiuser DB, and since all "Online" activity has to be assumed to be massively multiuser I would strongly suggest you go a different route.

If this is a website, then using an SQL or MySQL database (whichever is provided by your hosting service) prevents the need to "Protect" your DB from unexpected visitors.
If it isn't, then consider creating a WCF service to "host" your access file and to process requests to and from it. This provides the protection for you, and also means that your WCF task can be the only thing directly accessing the DB, ameliorating the multiuser access at the same time.
