 * Hi,
 * This is probably a super easy question if you know wordpress but I have been 
   sitting here for ages trying to figure it out. How can I make an additional site
   using the wordpress platform and my login? It is not a subdomain just a new domain/
   site.
 * Many thanks in advanced
 * Christina

 * Your current website on WordPress is self-hosted. This means unless you’re using
   the same database on the same hosting environment, you’re not not going to inherit
   login details.

 * A new registered domain would be an Add-On at the server, and then the two installations
   could share users if you add the new tables within the same database and enable
   something like this in each wp-config, respectively:
 *     ```
       $table_prefix='wp1_';
       define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp1_users');
       define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp1_usermeta');
       ```
   
 *     ```
       $table_prefix='wp2_';
       define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp1_users');
       define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp1_usermeta');
       ```
