If you use a script-driven platform for your website, it stores its data inside a database and the bigger the website becomes, the more information it gathers. For example, if you launch an e-store, the size of the database which the e-commerce script employs shall increase when you add more products. Exactly the same is valid for a forum script - the more users which register and the more opinions they post, the more substantial the database. If your websites become more popular or you just want to include more content, this may turn into a problem in case that your Internet hosting account has limited database storage area. The exact effect of reaching the limit will be depends on the script - the site may function adequately, but you may not be able to include any new content; the internet site can be displayed with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, the entire website could simply go offline.
