If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its data in a database and the more substantial the site becomes, the more info it collects. For instance, if you start a web store, the size of the database which the e-commerce script employs will increase any time you add more products. Exactly the same is valid for a forum script - the more users which register and the more responses they submit, the bigger the database. If your sites become popular or you simply want to include more content, this could turn into a problem in case that your web hosting account has limited database storage area. What the particular effect of hitting the limit will be depends on the script - the Internet site could work properly, but you may not be able to add any new information; the website can be viewed with errors; or, in the most severe scenario, your whole internet site may simply go offline.
