Yes of course you can do that for this create your Database in any cloud database from my interest you can go for azure and in connection string you can give your azure credentials.

Nilesh Shah · Answer

You can connect any database over internet as long as you know the IP and you have the credentials. Better way is to write a service layer which accesses this database and deploy it over interner and aceess that service layer from your code. You can use WCF or Web API to write the service layer.
