Is it possible to have two websites based on the same base forum data.

This is the scenario:

My client runs a discussion forum on say currentsite.org

They are considering building a new site (say, newsite.org) and wants the same forum to be available on the new website. Of course, some contents like header (newsite.org instead of currentsite.org ) must be different - and others, like the forums contents , registered users etc must be the same.

Is this possible to implement it if the websites are running on the same server?

They are planning to run the new site from a different hosting provider and want to point to the current discussion forum. Is there a better option in this scenario ?

Currently they are using the Free Express Edition 8.04

Thanks in advance.

Yes this can be done with the SQL Server or mySQL versions, you just connect to the database on the remote host.

However, I would suggest using the same web host as connecting across the Internet to a database server hosted by another company courses lags making the forum run slowly.

I would suggest hosting both websites with the same web host to avoid this issue.
