title: Can web app and database be hosted on different servers (remote and local)?
body: <p>I apologize right away if I misuse my right to ask questions here. Yet, being a tyro in web development and an ASP.NET beginner, I need some advice from the experts.</p>
  
  <p>I have developed an ASP.NET WebForms application which I would like to deploy to a remote hosting server. The application constantly queries and updates the database due to its purpose of being a document registration system. It will be sold to different institutions so that I've imagined the following scenario: host the app on the same server for all the institutions and have the databases  on a different server or on multiple different servers. I have considered this option because as the data amount expands the storage provided by hosting companies may be insufficient.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: is it possible to accomplish this scenario and if yes what are the risks and how should I do it? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much!</p>
