    It depends on whether your domain provides the facility of hosting web applications.

    If it does, then there must be a control panel for that hosting service and also there must be a control panel for managing databases and tables.

    These control panels can be on the same UI or different.

    Contact your web administrator to inquire for these things.

      From what I understand about Access Databases is that they are stored in a file (a with the extension .mdb)

      You should be able to upload this file to the server and use it; however, if the server doesn't have Access installed on it then your web application may have problems...

      As edurazee suggested: Contact your web host and ask them.
