[dba-SQLServer] Using SQL Server through my web site

I buy a web hosting plan where I have the ability to build sql server databases though my web 
account.  I have never used this but I need to do so now.  I haven't a clue how to get started.  I 
have written an email to the hosting company (PowerDNN) asking them for documentation on "how to" 
but I am wondering if any of you guys do this?

I have built a bunch of SQL Server back end databases for Access FEs.  this is all working well but 
the databases are running on a VM on my server at my home office which has obvious limitations.  I 
am hoping that I can push these databases out to my web host and reconnect the FEs to those 
databases out on the web.  That would make scaling issues go away.

Is anyone doing this?  Any tricks / tips / cautions etc?
