Hi,

Adding new databases to the server may not be a issue. Could you check your
CPU - Processor time
and Memory usage (Available bytes MB) during peak time. If your available
memory and CPU hits are
normal then you can create more databases, Because SQL server will take very
less memory to open a database.

Thanks
