It depends. If both webspaces can access the MySQL server, then yes.

Of course, logins won't carry over

Well, that's a base URL issue which only affects moderators/admins. You can only have one base URL.

Wouldn't you just use the same config.php file for both forums? Then they are both configured to the same database and host.

The forums would work, but the base URL check would fail for mods/admins
