InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years, as it provides a significantly better overall performance and an improved database failure recovery compared to the default engine used by MySQL – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by plenty of developers that build highly scalable software applications, due to the fact that it works much more effectively with immense amounts of data, while it keeps the server load low. In addition, it locks only a single row in the database if anything should be edited, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire database table and hence require more time to handle several successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – in case the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for any reason, the action is rolled back to prevent confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the latest releases of Joomla™ are two examples of famous open-source script-based applications that have moved to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

You can activate any open-source script-driven application that requires InnoDB if you have a website hosting package with us, as the MySQL database engine is present on our advanced cloud platform as standard. During the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will continue flawlessly in case this engine is required. You can run apps which use the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any impediment as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you will not have to change any setting manually at any time. What’s more, we’ll also carry out daily backups of all the MySQL databases that you have in your shared web hosting account, so if you erase or overwrite anything, we can easily get it back to the way it was on any of the previous seven days.
