Try to use ODBC or learn to use the class MarshalByRefObject.

You cannot use an Access database for this. Access is a file-based database and hence, will only work with file paths(be it drive letter based or UNC paths), not over HTTP or any other protocol.

In order for you to do this, you'll have to use whatever database engine your hosting company supplies, such as SQL Server.

On top of all this, you'll only be able to connect to your database IF the hosting company exposes the SQL Server directly to the Internet.
