If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its information in a database and the more substantial the website gets, the more data it collects. As an illustration, if you launch an e-store, the size of the database the e-commerce script uses shall increase whenever you add more products. The exact same applies for a forum script - the more users which register and the more opinions they publish, the bigger the database. If your sites gain popularity or you just want to include more content, this could become a problem in case that your hosting account has limited database storage space. What the specific effect of reaching the limit shall be depends on the script - the website can function properly, but you may not be able to add any new info; the site can be viewed with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, your entire site may simply go offline.
