[support] Multi-site question

[sander-martijn]

two more things:
if you have a need to migrate one of the sites to it's own install at 
some point (because of high traffic for example) it would be a bigger 
job to migrate the database.

It's been a while since I did significant database management (beyond 
normal setting up of databases, tables users etc) but if I remember 
correctly you can set things such as concurrent connections per databsae 
not just per user - if your host is charging per database it's likely 
they have that set up so doing this could have performance limitations 
(eg. high traffic on one site resulting in decreased performance on the 
other sites or even make them inaccessible)
