two cmsms sites mirror each other

I have set up a heap of sites using cms made simple
recently i set up a site noosaforestretreat.com which when set up, replaced all information on a site i had previously set up badasscomedy.com, all data on badasscomedy.com was wiped

it's something to do with the sites sharing databases, but as yet, 4 days after the problem occurred, the support staff with my web hosting havent been able to solve the problem

any suggestions?

2 sites on the same server sharing the same database and what's happening?  They're losing the content?  Are they both losing the same content?

No error messages?

What host?  and why on earth are you using the same database?

If you install two cms installations into the same database you must use different database prefixes, because the install process attempts to drop and re-create any pre-existing tables that match the database prefix.
