If you want to easy portability of your database use SQLite... but if you are a great site, doing every time insert and update use another like postgresql or mysql. and it depends of the language your are writing your web site, if you PHP you could use what ever between mysql,postgresql, sqlite or oracle if you have money... but i prefer sqlite
