 * When using multisite, a single database is getting too large. Is it possible 
   to split it? I want to use multiple databases. how will I do.

 * Yes, but this isn’t exactly a plugin type simple solution.
 * If you’re running out of database space on your present server you might want
   to move your database by itself over onto a bigger, better server.
 * I recently migrated a multisite’s database from a shared host to a VPS host while
   leaving the multisite itself back on the shared host. Pretty simple and easily
   freed up the shared host to run just the WordPress itself while the VPS took 
   over the database allowing a good bit of growth before I’ll need to change much
   else.
 * The cool thing is you can run a fairly large multisite WordPress from a shared
   host and a simple VPS as long as your traffic, themes, plugins, and media files
   don’t tax the shared host too much. You can toss in an assist from something 
   like CloudFlare to pick up the slack.
 * There are other solutions but you’ll need to pursue those on your own or hire
   a developer who can build that out for you.
