in addition to what Michael and Trey explained yo might also want to think 
about using different host setups instead of separate directories inside a 
single host. 
So instead of http://servername/instance1 and http://servername/instance2 you 
could setup your server system to serve different hosts: 
http://secure.myserver.org/ and http://share.myserver.org/

This is often more natural and surprisingly easy to setup, provided you ahve 
access to your servers configuration. For intranet use hostname to address 
resolution can be done in the clients host file setup, for internet usage you 
would require a wildcard name resolution. Which is not a problem usually. 
Most people see this alternative as a "more clean" approach, a naming that is 
more intuitive. 

In the end it both boils down to the same system serving both instances, yo 
need two databases and two installation folders. It is just a question of how 
you pubish those instances.
