On my system you can have as many databases as you like - you can have MySQL and/or SQLServer2005 and/or Access to your heart's content. My cost factors are related to bandwidth usage and disk space usage. All other factors in the set up are free.
So you can have as many datasources and associated databases as you like. As many email accounts as you like. As many subdomains as you like. As many ftp accounts as you like. It's the bandwidth and disk space you use that counts. And since I use the HELM control panel, you can set them all up yourself whenver you want. The only thing Rick wanted I dont have yet is CF8, which is why I didnt respond earlier. (oh and one more thing - even though I'm in Australia, my servers are in Texas and I have American based hosting customers. Credit card transactions are international.)
