Maximum number of MySQL Databases has reached

[gotsaved]

Hi,

First of all I would like to thank the admin and staffs of x10hosting for providing such free and great hosting services.
I just like to ask about the number of databases that can be created in a free hosting account.
Based on the stats i can have a maximum of 4 databases but I can only add upto 2 databases.

Is this an error or is it the limitation of free acccounts?
If I really reached the maximum number of databases, can I request another slot for another database?
Thanks.

The limit for mySQL databases for Free Hosting Accounts is 2.
cPanel assumes that you can have 2 mySQL and 2 Postgres. Apparently, there is no way to tell it that Postgres is not offered. So it shows "4" as the limit.
They cannot adjust it on a per-account basis.
Look into using "table prefixes" (your WordPress tables would be named wp_user etc while your Drupal tables would be named dr_user etc ) so two or more scripts can share the same database.

Hi Descalzo,
Well, thanks for replying and for the tip. I'll now try to move all my tables into a single database so that I can still be able to add more site on my account.
