Question on databases

Is it better to have one large database with all the data for a web
site in it or many smaller databases that hold data for specific
area's of a web site in it?

Thinking that one database with some sort of clustering technology is
better than trying to manage many smaller databases?

Also, if data needs to be linked should multiple databases be avoided
all together?

Asking these questions because I've not faced the issue of scaling
massively as yet and would value the knowledge from those who have.
