I am using Plesk on my CentOS server and I have two domains.

My first domain uses Wordpress.

Now I would like to use Wordpress on my second domain. I will install Wordpress second time.

Do I need to have a separate Wordpress database?

I'd like to keep these two domains separate as much as possible.

  • Why wouldn't you use two seperate databases for two seperate databases. It doesn't use any more resources.

If you want to keep those two sites as separate as possible, you should go for the two database-setup.

Technically it's perfectly working with just one, as long as you change the db-prefix-setting during the install or in the wp-config.php.

I'd recommend you to do a full database-backup BEFORE messing around with the prefixes...

  • Created a separate database for each site. Works nice.

You could of course transform the first Wordpress installation and into a MultiUser Setup:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

This would give you the possibility of managing both instances from one backend.

And of course you would in this case only be using one DB.
