So i am making a members area for my website, and currently using 2/4 databases however when i go to the SQL database panel i am getting this error "You are currently using the maximum number of MySQL databases. If you need more please contact your service provider." i know that i havnt used all 4 of my DB and just wanted to know if there is anything to get the full 4.

Sorry for the really bad explanation im not that good at explaining things.

Thanks in advance.

cPanel seems to have a bug in that it shows twice the number of allowed databases.

Free hosting accounts are allowed just 2 databases. Utilizing "table prefixes", each database can be used by several different scripts. ie, wp_ as a prefix for the tables for your WordPress blog installation, bb_ as a prefix for the tables of your phpBB forum, installation, and drup_ as a prefix for the tables for your Drupal install. Most major scripts have the ability to use table prefixes (they know that many users have limited number of databases).

Quick note for anyone who stumbles on this, cPanel's showing the right count in a really roundabout way. It's just not indicating that you get 2 MySQL and 2 PostgreSQL, it just says 4 databases.
