As an illustration, if you launch a web-based store, the size of the database that the e-commerce script employs will increase any time you add more items. The exact same is valid for a forum script - the more users which register and the more opinions they submit, the bigger the database. If your websites gain popularity or you just want to include more content, this can develop into a problem in case that your hosting account has limited database space. The exact effect of hitting the limit shall be depends on the script - the website could function correctly, but you may not be able to include any new info; the internet site can be displayed with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, the whole site may simply go offline.
