We are in the process of setting up a blog with several blogs in sub-directories, all under one domain.

Over a year ago I switched totally everything on my shared accounts from goDaddy to <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/mk121xdmjdl041A89460215195A3?sid=fastest.hostgator" rel="nofollow">Hostgator</a> and I couldn't be happier! I can have unlimited web sites, databases, or whatever I want for a very reasonable price. Secondly though, no plugins don't require additional databases - they just create new tables in your existing Wordpress database. The problem installing (and removing) dozens of tables into a Wordpress database poses is that usually when a plugin is deleted, the tables and data it created are left behind - leaving your to manually remove them and clean it up. Some of the better plugins do clean up after themselves or have a "completely uninstall" option. @Jim – first of all, never EVER sign up for a web host that limits databases, emails, subdomains – or about anything.

I have a really dumb question as I ponder setting up a WordPress installation for my business. I notice many web hosts only allow 5-10 MySQL databases. Doesn't that pose a problem for the many plug-ins in WordPress that want to use a MySQL database? I guess I'm assuming they all just start their own, or at least many of them do. Thanks for your help. Good site. Jim Thanks for the article. I have a really dumb question as I ponder setting up a WordPress installation for my business.
