I am new to SQL server stuff and recently thought of creating a Database for my website. I would like to stop things like comments, blog post, stuff like that. But I am trying not to pay for SQL server space. I have although a copy of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2014 which I have created a db and table from which I can access via a C# program I have made. Now, I am facing the program where if I am not connect to the same network as the SQL Server PC, I can no longer connect. Is there a way for me to make my SQL Server available to all people? So say if I am on my phone and want to log-in to my SQL Server, can I?
Basically the root of my question is: Can I, with SSMS, create a public SQL Server which can be remotely connected to via other internet connections. If I cannot, can only recommended me software that can? I have bought a computer on sale for this reason so I know if will need to be on and have a sable internet connect. If I cannot then, what are some sites that are trusted for providing well secured SQL Servers.
I have TCP/IP enable but I cannot connect via IP given in the SQL Config. My ports are set correctly .
Thank you, I know this question is a little opinion based but I am new to this and would like to know what the 'pros' use. i.e. you guys...
