Hi Raulland,
>What are my options for databases and consuming services when developing Windows universal applications? Where would I publish databases and services? How do I publish them? What technology should I use for services? WCF, Web API, Classic web services?
What options do I have for databases?
Databases and Services are independent of your app. You can deploy them in cloud platform and they can be connected using network. You can use
Windows Azure or any other third-party Service Provider. Of course you can use WCF, Web API, web service, but
REST service and Json is more popular.
See How to consume REST services in your windows store and phone app.
> If I publish an app does it have to be public or can I choose who I share it with?
If you success in publishing your app to windows phone store, it’s public to everyone. Another way is to use company app. Windows Phone enables companies to publish and distribute Windows Phone apps directly to their employees or other users, bypassing the
Windows Phone Store. For more information you can refer to

> Prices? Are there some free spaces for beginners?
Choose the prices for your app when you submit to windows phone store. For more information,

At last, see
Overview of publishing an app to the Windows Store.
