micro-quick question.
does phpBB require anymore than 3 MySQL databases?
I have found a great web-hosting offer at http://www.webhosting.uk.com.
The extra package which cost approx. £30 offers 3 free MySQL databases.
I know most people on this site are probably running their own servers and such like, but for the rest of us, this seems like a great deal.

one database. It just uses around 10 tables, not sure exactly how many...

thanks for your answer....
As soon as I ave the funds I will be away.
( I always knew MySQL was looming, ready to get me:
I couldn't use flatfiles for ever...believe me...I've tried and it's a pain in the neck. )

phpbb works great. Nice free software. A person can use one database for massive stuff. Just put an extension before it if needed. Phpbb for example comes up with phpbb_ as default. All you are really limited to is the megs in which the provider gives you.
