I'm currently in the middle of developing an application loosely similar to StackOverflow (question/answer based)

Initially, I was using AWS (simple DB and s3) for storage, however that posed several problems, and I've opted to go with SQL - With a view to eventually hosting on SQL Azure.

I was just wondering if I opted for the 1gb database initially, could I increase the size to the 5gb / 10gb databases later on? Or would I have to create a separate new database of this size, and port my data over?

You cannot go over 1GB, you have to allow it specifically, you will get an error after you attempt to go beyond 1GB.

To increase the max size, execute this T-SQL as shown: 

ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase MODIFY (EDITION='WEB', MAXSIZE=5GB)
