Answer 1

The easiest thing to do would be ask the hosting provider to install the Microsoft Access engine on the webserver.

I'm not sure if you could deploy it with webdeploy. That would enable that you can deploy and install it yourself.

Answer 2

This driver is not installed by default and i don't think your service provider is gonna install it specially for you.

You better use mdb files instead of accdb files, and use the Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0 driver instead.
