Dear all,
I need some help!
I maintain a news website in drupal. The content grows every day and the database is already 218Mb. Godaddy, my host provider, gives databases of 250Mb and even if I upgrade my hosting plan, the database space will remain the same! As I have some free MySql databases left, is it possible to connect one or two more to the website, so that it can use the other databases, when the default is full and if yes, how? I need all the past posts to be shown, too.
Thank you very much!

You could try to archive your old table information and old tables within the MySQL database. This will reduce the size of your database by reducing information that isn't accessed anymore. And it will not require recoding or setting up your site to use multiple databases.

In the long run you will have to start thinking about changing hosting plans/hosting providers anyway so I suggest you do that now.

Drupal 5 is no longer supported. But I think #4 gave you great advice.
