I have a Godaddy Linux Hosting Account and i want to install many wordpress blogs. but i can only 25 MYSQL databases. is there any way that I can use many wordpress blogs in 1 database?

I think the wordpress forums is a better place to ask this. But anyway, I'm sure you can but giving each wordpress setup a different table prefix. You can also run multiple "blogs" off one install btw. go seach the wordpress forums.

ok, but i want them to be on different domains.

Hosting multiple domains on one account is a feature of your hosting provider, it has nothing to do with Wordpress.

As jng said, you can easily host dozens or hundreds of Wordpress blogs using one database, as long as they are each configured to use a unique table prefix.

I know i can host mutiple domains on my hosting accounts i just whant to know if i can host mutiple wordpress blogs in one MYSQL database. 🙂 🙂 🙂

you can if you change the prefix from wp_ to something like wp1_ in the config file (the one with all of the my sql settings)

When you install wordpress there should be a field where you can type in a prefix, but I'm not sure.

ok thanks i will try it out.

do you think this will work Wordpress MU

Should work fine. Are the multiple domains multihosted? If so, they're probably just sub folders so it should be pretty straightforward.

If they're not, you just need to makesure you configure the db connection properly and one thing that might be easily overlooked is host, which might be better set as something solid/concrete, instead of "localhost."

solid/concrete sounds weird but i'm having a brainfart and can't think of "fest" in english....
