InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity lately, because it offers a better overall performance and an improved crash recovery compared with the default engine that’s used by the MySQL DBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by plenty of devs that create scalable web apps, because it works better with enormous data volumes, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. Moreover, it locks only a single row in the database in case any info should be modified, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire database table and hence need much more time to fulfill multiple successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB follows the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for some reason, the action is rolled back to prevent scrambling or data loss. Magento and the latest Joomla™ releases are two instances of widely used open-source script-powered web apps that have switched to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

You’ll be able to use any open-source script-driven software application that needs InnoDB if you have a website hosting with our company, as the database engine is present on our cutting-edge cloud platform by default. Throughout the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will proceed impeccably in case this engine is required. You can run applications which need the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any impediment as well and, once again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t need to configure anything manually at any point. Furthermore, we will also carry out daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your shared web hosting account, so in case you delete or overwrite something, we can easily restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
