Thread:Project:Forum/Use same database for two different domains/reply (7)

I am also in this situation. I am using the same Database for two wikis. The reason for this is that I had to move to a free host and the free host didn't have the level of Database software required to run the Wiki. I had another commercial site on another server that did have the level of Database required. So I decided to have the wiki on the free host use the database on the paid host. I can't have it all on the paid host because the paid host allows only one domain but multiple databases :-)

The only problem I've had is that the free host is very slow when accessing the database on the paid host. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
