In comparison with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual website pages, any script-driven website stores all of its info in a database. Just a few examples of this type of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product or service listings, rates, blog posts, user reviews etc are gathered in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the information you include, the bigger the database gets and if your hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database may have, your website may not perform correctly once you hit that limit. The effects can range from not being able to add new content to improperly performing Internet site or even the website displaying only error messages and not being online at all.

We use a cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform and all databases set up in the shared hosting accounts on it are controlled by a separate cluster of web servers, so we've decided to not limit the total space they may take. Each database inside an account could be of any size, so the growth of your Internet sites will not be restricted, given that we are able to keep attaching additional servers to the cluster if required for providing both more space and far better load balancing.
