Compared with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven website collects its info inside a database. Just a few examples of this kind of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product or service listings, selling prices, blog posts, user reviews etc are collected in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the information you add, the more substantial the database gets and if your Internet hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your website may not function properly as soon as you hit that limit. The results can vary from not being able to include new data to inadequately performing Internet site or even the site showing only error messages and not being accessible at all.
