I read so many posts regarding multisite installations and configurations, but didn't find a good solution to my problem.

I'm trying to set up two different drupal-based sites (having fundamentally different contents, and that is the reason why I need to have separate domains) but sharing the same users' database....

Is there any concrete solution?

site1 is hosted on a plesk virtual server (possibility to create localhost database, not remotely accessible
site 2 is hosted on a shared server (with external server database, remotely accessible)

thank you so much guys....

Hi
If your databases are at same server and you use same Drupal version then you may use a seperate user database containing only tables related to users. I tried it and it works fine.
But in my case I am looking for a way to manage the shared users when the sites use different Drupal versions.
good luck

I have a main site, which has current users, running drupal 5.
I am creating a separate site, different concept, running drupal 6.

I am looking for a solution where the existing users on the main site, are already users on the new site. New users on the new site, would become users on the main site.

Both sites are on the same server, but the databases are separate, and the drupal versions are different.

Is this possible for me to do? Is there any recommendations or documentation I should look for?
I found the domain module and shared sign-on module, but they both talk about shared databases.

Cheers,
