    Database hosting is a critical aspect of determining the correct platform for a business website because an increasing number of sites now require a back-end database for publishing dynamic data content such as store locations, product lists, conference schedules, etc. One alternative to the traditional method of purchasing, installing, and configuring commercial database software on the server, and writing a custom database application in server-side code like PHP or ASP, is to enlist a Software-as-a-Service database solution. SaaS databases represent a cost-effective path towards publishing a web database and attaching it to a business website. For a modest monthly fee, you can quickly publish business data without buying any software, and wihtout hiring a web developer. The interface to the database is simple HTML. One such cloud database is http://www.HostedDatabase.com and is directed mainly to small businesses.
