>well. i think i want to give a small number of users access to a dtabase that i want to keep on a server via the internet.

Well you will need to find a host that supports the type of database you have. Then you will need to write asp/cgi/java or whatever code that will allow them access. Again the host you are looking for will need to also support the code base you decide to use. Depending on how secure your data has to be may require a secure socket cert. I might be able to help a little more if you can better define your requirements.
