This is such a broad and open question, I will only respond to some items.
I hope others are willing to give you the full monty.
Webhosting, PhP most always in combination with MySQL/PostGreSQL database.
MsAccess a M$ product for use in (at least in former days) 5-10 concurrent user environments and mostly on Windows platforms.
Although mature as a database, even M$ promotes the use of MsSQL for larger environments, the WWW is a larger environment.
ODBC is a way of connecting to a(ny) database other than native connect.
It is a OpenDataBaseConnector, one of the main issues with an ODBC connect is that a Hosting Company does not realy like/want to have these sort of connections.
Fortunately CCS allows you to :
Use MsAccess as a design database.
Use ODBC for connection to many Database engines.
Needs ODBC during Design time t connect to a designtime Database.
Allows native connects to many Database types.
Dumping and MsAccess Database Data + Structure to (other) SQL is available in many tools needed for maintenance on Databases.

I don't use PHP but I have apps (.net and ColdFusion) using MsAccess with 70+ concurrent users without an issue.
I'm not aware of any odbc issues to MsAccess that you need to watch out for.
I've been happy with both www.crystaltech.com and www.successfulhosting.com.

The original post was changed, it was larger than just that question.

thanks E43509 will definitely try that and yes Walter I changed the original post because I only wanted to know any webhosting company that does php, access and ODBC connection, since I read that some companies don’t do odbc connection.
I am sorry if it caused any inconvenience and thanks for the definition lesson 
Thanks for the help guyz….

No prob, just now it seems like I am patronizing you, but in reality giving a small answer to a wide question.
