InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got many strong sides which have made it the engine of choice for lots of PHP script-powered software applications, such as Magento and Joomla, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For example, importing huge data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single database row to carry out a particular operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is treated. To put it simply, appending new or editing existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case some problem occurs in the meantime, which is why the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.

InnoDB in Shared Hosting

Every PHP-powered software app that needs InnoDB will function impeccably on our innovative cloud web hosting platform and the MySQL database storage engine is offered with all our shared hosting plans. Every time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation process is initiated, the engine that the database in question will use will be selected on the basis of the app’s specifications without having to modify any setting in your web hosting account. InnoDB will be chosen automatically for any app that requires this specific engine and you’ll be able to get the most out of its full capacity. We will carry out regular content backups, so in case you unintentionally delete a MySQL database that you need or you overwrite specific parts of it, we will be able to restore everything the way it was just a few hours ago.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you set up a new MySQL database through the Control Panel offered with each of our semi-dedicated server plans and you start installing a PHP-driven web application either manually or using our single-click app installer tool, the storage engine for the database will be picked automatically on the basis of the specific app’s requirements. As InnoDB is present on the cloud platform where your new semi-dedicated hosting account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for each app that needs it without any manual intervention required on your end at any moment. To prevent any chance of losing information if you update an app or if you remove a database by mistake, we’ll carry out a backup of all your MySQL databases each and every day, so if something goes wrong, we can restore your data.
