  Hi there, i’m trying to create a website, that is pretty much a front-end for a database of information. Is it possible to create this through WordPress ? If so, how easy ? If not, whats the best solution please ?

  No. There is no FTP access to sites hosted by wordpress.COM and you cannot upload databases. For what you describe you need a wordpress.ORG software install.
