    Why would you use XML as a database? Its slow and inefficient. XML’s strengths lie in being a data exchange format, not a data storage format.

    That said, there is http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/xml/index.html as an option.

    You could use XML to store your data, but it’s not going to be the most easiest way to maintain your application. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    Try moving to hosting provider that does give you a database.

    Here is a long list of them.

    I’ve personally tried out xhosting, and I thought it was pretty good.

    Alternaitvely, you can use these free SQL hosting providers, to supplement your current hosting plan.
