Website and DB for remote access
I'm new to creating websites and know nothing about the process, so bear with me. I've been using c++ for a while and began figuring out obj-c recently. 

I've recently written an iphone app, I would like to add some functionality that would enable it to connect to a sql lite or msql database I will create,  and download a little information from it. My problem is that I know nothing of what I need to offer this service to people that will be using the app. 

So I suppose I have a few questions. What service(s) do I need to purchase to be able to a)have a website and b)host a db there that my app can connect to (it will not use a browser window, it will display the info from the db in a table I'll make)? Typically what language is something like the server side access to the db written in? I'm comfortable with c++ so I assume c# would be easy to figure out, if I can use a .net language for this that would be great. 

I've tried looking at webhosting places but there are just to damn many buzzowrds and I have no idea what they mean or if I need them. Maybe it's because I don't know much about this but it seems like when I try to read about the packages that say godaddy offers, the description is lite on content and heavy on buzzwords (cloud this, webapp that).

So if anyone could explain just what I need to have a simple website, and host a db online that could be access by my app running in an iphone I would greatly appreciate it. I stress that my needs are very basic, a very small very basic website, and a very small very basic db for remote access.

If this isn't the typical type of question asked here I apologize, but I've been coming here for years to search for answers for c++ problems and always found the community very knowledgeable and concise.
