    I feel having 2 instances is better than one.

    is it having 2 instances in one Machine.
    or what else.

    Please put the question clearly, so that we can advise u , instead of putting a single liner question which doesnot mention what o/s and what application will be run.

    A database can be mounted by one instance only unless you are using OPS.

    Depending on yr rqmts having 2 instances on the seperate server provides scalability.(allowing more connections and more transactions).
    So one instance ats as a primary instance and the other as a failover instance.The failure/secondary instance takes over when primary fails.
    This setup protects against instance failures etc but not against media/or non media failures.So don't think of it as an option for high availability against data failures* but scalability.
    * here you might considering a stby database setup.

    Hope that explains.
