    Replication on shared mySQL server

    Is it possible to set up replication on a shared mySQL server, i.e.
    have the replication only concern the databases that I have access to,
    without changing the entire server setup? (This will probably be in a
    shell account on a Linux box)

    I basically have 2 server, one which I have full controll over and a
    second (backup) that I will share with other people. I want to set up
    a two-way replication between these, so that server 1 can go down at
    any time. But as its just a backup, I would like to buy server 2 as
    cheaply as possible, ex. a webhotel (where the mySQL is shared).

    Can this be done? Or do I have to buy a second standalone server? Is
    there some possible workaround (the replication does not have to be
    continous, only every minute or so)

    Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated

    regards
