Popular databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle allow multiple database schemas per connection, and the Control panel software used by most of the ISPs that I have seen specifically allow multiple databases with whatever names you want, as does the popular phpMyAdmin administration tool. Those ISPs who specifically disallow multiple databases are, in my experience not offering a professional service, so I do not want to waste any of my valuable time in modifying my software so that it runs in their cheap, amateur environment.
I am not bothered about the potential loss of revenue that this may cause as I have more than enough projects from professional companies wh consider multiple databases to be a normal setup.
I'm sorry if you find my views inconsiderate, but perhaps you could as your ISP to explain their single database restriction. This is an artificially imposed limitation which has nothing to do with any software, so they should justify why they have imposed it.
