    Can anyone give me a guide as to the size the mysql database is likely to grow to with say 200 members? I have a problem with exceeding the database size my host provider gives me. I'm just playing around learning how to use aMember with just a couple of token members and it has topped my limit of 100mb already. Does that indicate something is not working properly to reach that size already?
    Thanks - Derek

    Derek,
    I can't give you detailed information on database size vs members. However, if your web hosting company is placing a limit of 100 MB on a database, you need to change hosts. There are plenty of inexpensive ($10/month) hosting options that offer 3-5 GB of storage and don't specifically limit the database size.
