PHP/MySql is the web standard way to go for Databases - most hosting plans support them and there are several actions available.
However you will need to create a MySql Database on your server first. If the existing info is in Excel it can be imported.
As to whether you will need 3rd party involvement - probably down to how complex the database is.
