Data input to a website

I'm new to website design and am building/learning how to put together a data driven website that will help users with calorie/ vegetarian types of queries. My question is for big sites like DailyBurn, SparkPeople do they rent a database or build their own? I know users data is stored on their sites, so do they have separate db's for user input and calorie output? If someone is building their site from scratch is it better and cheaper to just create their own db's from scratch or pay for an existing one?

The other negative is a site like CalorieKing requires me to show their name on any queries I think even for the paid service which I do not want to do.

Thanks

H

They're probably going to be separate tables of the same database.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by creating your own database, but with the advent of AWS they are dirt cheap.
