I'm thinking about buying a shared hosting provider, and then offer a 1GB MSSQL database with the package.
This may not be an exact science, but how many records/tables can I save in a 1GB database? I will be saving pure text (meaning: nvarchar, varchar, int, bool) and not binaries/blobs.
For this question, imagine around 20 tables, with 9 fields each. Not null on every field.
Is there some way to gauge and project how long this will hold me over before I need to upgrade to a more expensive package?
