[AccessD] Free Cloud based MySQL

I think quite a few hosts have changed this policy. New Godaddy databases
can be accessed remotely, and several other hosts I work with CrystalTech,
and Arvixe allow remote access. I have connected to SQL Server databases
from Access on both of the later hosting services. Arvixe allows as many SQL
server databases as you want on their lowest level windows hosing.

Does your web host allow you to access the SQL Server database remotely?

Very few do - almost invariably, the only way to access a web database is
through the web server, all other originating IP addresses are blocked
(that's why you need phpMyAdmin or 
similar running on the web server to administer the database.   

The advantage of this one is that you don't need an intermediate web server
based interface, you can access it directly from anywhere.
