Yes, of course it's possible.
Based on your goals, security, data type(s), database size, scalability etc. it's difficult to suggest anything in detail.
Please try to focus your needs, specifications, requirements, goals, budget etc. thanks.
For a remote database you will want some kind of Linux-based shared hosting service. I use Dreamhost and I have been very happy with them. Your database should be MySQL or a close variant. Then you pick the transport protocol you are most comfortable with, such as XML or, preferably, JSON. Then you code a server and code your client.
Ideally, you need a REST server to connect to your remote database. There are many frameworks like Jackson and Jersey that are reasonable alternatives but it does require too much effort. One of my friends work at a startup that just came up with a way to get RESTful API to any of the SQL databases. You may want to try it out and see if it works for you at EspressoLogic.
What is the best remote database for connet IOS App and how to do that ..
