hello mihai

it depends on where you host the site

your host will have some, probably not all, databases available in hosting
plans

for example, if your host is NT, chances are they will have a hosting plan
that includes ASP and either Access or SQL/Server (which sometimes costs
extra)

on the other hand, if your host is Unix, chances are they will have a
hosting plan (which is usually no extra charge) that includes PHP and MySQL

so a lot depends on what is available to you

the good news is that the language used to talk to these various databases
is pretty much the same, because most databases use a version of SQL

the bad news is that you have to learn the appropriate language (ASP, PHP,
Cold Fusion, or whatever) on top of the HTML used in creating the web pages

oh, and by the way, please don't use cracked software -- if you cannot pay
for dreamweaver, even the reduced-price student copy, that's understandable
(i was a student once, too, a long time ago, but i remember what it's like
to live on pasta and rice), but there are plenty of free editors around
that you should look into
