Is it an expensive way then?

Depends on your uasage doesn't it really. But I did notice you picked a US host again

two questions to clarify. Do i need five database for five sites that each have their own log in, because that nearly free speach has confused me...
How many MySQL databases can I have?

"A MySQL process can contain as many databases as you wish. You can also create multiple MySQL processes if you wish, but doing so will cost more than placing all your databases in a single process."

and if i can't use a database for chat how do i do it. although i don't know why im bothering chat won't get used.

Sounds like you might needc to read through a few bits here MySQL AB :: The world's most popular open source database

[dj support]

you can have as many things using one database as you like they can be prefixed so there all unique in what they add to the database but for easy management and speed it would be best to have independant Mysqls for each forum etc,

and why not wait for PHPBB 3 im so waiting for this release! it's big its better and its due to be Release Candidate any time soon!!
