   Hi - I am setting up wordpress sites for 2 distinct domains that, due to restrictions at my hosting service, must share a single mysql database. It's not clear to me that multisite is the way to go. I would prefer that user accounts are not shared between the two sites but that's not critical.

   Is it straightforward to share one mysql database with multiple unrelated domains on a single host?

   Thanks,
   Tim

   A) You can install as many instances of WordPress in a single database as you want. That's why WordPress allows you to change table prefixes.
   B) If you want to share users between the two sites, you should use multisite with domain mapping. Otherwise, you should use two separate single site installs.
