If you use a script-driven platform for your Internet site, it stores its info in a database and the bigger the site becomes, the more info it gathers. For instance, if you start an electronic store, the size of the database the e-commerce script uses shall increase any time you add more products. The same applies for a forum script - the more users that register and the more responses they publish, the more substantial the database. If your Internet sites become popular or you would like to include more content, this can be a problem if your Internet hosting account has limited database storage space. What the particular effect of geting to the limit shall be depends on the script - the site could perform correctly, but you may not be able to include any new information; the site could be viewed with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, the entire site could simply go offline.
