    I am planning to start a blog website for which I need MySQL space. While checking some hosting plan on Internet I found out about this concurrent user limit for database. Could someone please explain this term in simple language.

    Sorry But I really don't know what concurrent user limit means.

    It means performing database queries at the same time (perhaps same second).
    I know most shared hosting account have a limit on this (25 concurrent connections etc.)

    For a small to medium sized website this should not be a problem...
    But assume a College conducting exam for 10,000 students who would start logging into their Test Account at the same time. Not all (assuming queries take only few seconds) but many would be conflicting the database limit..
    Hope this gives a clear picture..
