I can create new ones for me, they all start with myUsername_, though I

You should be happy that you have a good host, all that I have seen don't

if they want extra databases they charge extra each month.
Good luck for me is that I do run my own "server", so I don't have that prob

10 tables in one database, or 5 tables each in 2 databases. There
