Unless you pay for an upgrade, you only get 2 DBs.

As an alternative, most scripts (WordPress, Joomla, etc) allow you to add a prefix to the table names so the same DB can serve multiple scripts.

ie, descalzo_blog as a database could hold a set of WordPress tables with a wp1_ prefix, Joomla tables with joom1_ prefix, and another WordPress installation with wp2_ prefix.

Thank for reply, so one database for different type of prefix like joomla and wordpress at the same time. but I think this will slow my website by using a lot of tables in 1 database?

sorry for asking too much questions. I'm newbie in joomla and I hope they add at least 1 more database

Thanks

In order to get more databases, you'd at least need to get Prime ($4.95/year) addon for your free account. That would double the databases, email accounts, addon domains etc.

Having more then one script in each database wouldn't slow things down much, if at all.
