If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its information in a database and the bigger the Internet site gets, the more data it gathers. As an illustration, if you start an e-store, the size of the database the e-commerce script employs shall increase as you add more goods. Exactly the same is valid for a forum script - the more users that register and the more opinions they publish, the larger the database. If your Internet sites become popular or you simply want to add more content, this could be a problem if your hosting account has limited database storage space. The specific effect of reaching the limit shall be depends on the script - the Internet site can work properly, but you may not be able to include any new content; the internet site could be shown with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, your entire site might go offline.
