What happens if my database goes above 1GB?
Do you guys have any restrictions on how big database can be?

We do not have a specific limit on the size of mysql databases on the server however generally large databases could cause issues with the server and slow down your own site at which time we may ask you to optimize and prune the database.

As of a few years ago, the suggested limit for a MySQL database was around 400MB. While LP did not impose any fixed limit (other than max size of files + database + emails for older plans), MySQL itself had performance troubles dealing with very large databases. I don't know if/how much that has changed.

I see, my website is one month old and its already at 70mb, I have a very active forum.
Would you guys recommend something else?
