title: Joomla 2.5 How many possible categories
body: <p>I googled but could only find answers for the max amount of articles.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question: short Version:</strong></p>
  
  <p>How many possible categories (with subcategories) can Joomla 2.5 handle on a shared host. Which problems do I have to expect?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question: long Version:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I m building an website for architects. The content structure looks like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>HOUSES
      Architect A
        Project 1
        Project 2
        ...
  
      Architect B
        Project 1
        Project 2
        ...
  
  Places
      Architect C
        Project 1
        Project 2
        ...
  
      Architect D
        Project 1
        Project 2
        ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And so on. The most obvious would be to have HOUSES  and PLACES as Categories. Architect A, Architect B ... as subcategories and the Projects as articles. This would on the one hand keep the ability to use Joomlas Blog View etc. and not use third party CCK extensions but on the other hand this would probably cause 300 and more categories.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your always great input,</p>
