For instance, if you start an Internet store, the size of the database the e-commerce script employs will increase any time you add more goods. Exactly the same is valid for a forum script - the more users that register and the more opinions they post, the more substantial the database. If your Internet sites become more popular or you simply want to include more content, this might turn into a problem in case that your website hosting account has limited database storage area. The particular effect of reaching the limit shall be depends on the script - the website may function adequately, but you may not be able to add any new content; the internet site may be displayed with errors; or, in the most severe scenario, your whole internet site may simply go offline.
