I've been asked to start a forum for an athletic club I serve on the Board of (pastimeac.org - Home).
I just acquired a second owned license on this forum. I have a couple of questions of the conceptual nature on this project. My gunsnhoses forum is hosted on chronichosting.com's server. I'd like to host the new forum (Powered by: Doteasy - Bannerless Free Web Hosting and Email for Small Business and Individual) on the same server even though the website is hosted through doteasy. Can I do that?
Do I need a second license for vBadvanced for the second forum?
Are there any suggestions anyone might offer as for naming conventions to avoid mixing/confusing/cluttering the folders for two (2) forums?
If I were looking for help on this (its for a not for profit so $$ are a factor), where should I start?
Thanks for reading!

There should be no problem with hosting 2 forums on the same account. A lot of larger forums are hosted on several servers clustered across many to reduce load. You can even have your database hosted on a different server than where you have your files. If you need some help with setup I can help you out.
