Due to the fact that script-driven applications gather their info in a database, adding more content to this kind of site will not lead to a larger size of the app files, but in a bigger size of the database the site uses. If you run a WordPress blog, for instance, the disk space that its database uses will expand when you add new posts and website visitors leave opinions beneath them. An expanding database can become an issue if the hosting account which you use has limited storage space and sometimes even plans with unlimited space in general still have limited database space. When you reach the limit, you won't be able to add new information. Other probable consequences are that your website may not perform the way it ought to or that it might not appear online at all, which can result in lost potential customers.
