- OS X Server includes the Postgres database system. You could also install MySQL from a 3rd party (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/macosx-installation.html)

- Have you verified that the server is available to the outside world overall? Have you verified your DNS configuration? What type of connection do you have to the internet? Does that connection provide you with a public IP or does it use NAT?

Are you able to ping the machine from the outside world? Do you have the DNS properly configured? What is your domain name?
