If you a using a VPS would you not be able to install some sort of mysql/mariaDB or even SQLite (which BTW, I would not use for production),

If you dont have those basic functionalities what is the point of paying for a VPS, or even a shared host or am I missing something?
If you have another, say, MySQL server hosted elsewhere you can reference the servers IP instead of localhost.
If this works for you make sure you read some good tutorials and secure the open connection with a strong password, not using a wildcard for IP access to the DB server and your firewall is up and running.

I see Digital Ocean now has MySQL one click install images
