Compared with a static HTML site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven website stores all its information in a database. Just a few examples of this sort of sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product or service listings, selling prices, blog posts, user comments and so forth are collected in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the information you include, the more substantial the database becomes and if your web hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database may have, your Internet site may not work properly when you hit that limit. The effects can vary from being unable to add new content to badly working website or even the website displaying nothing but error messages and not being available at all.
