InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for the MySQL database management system. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got a number of advantages which have made it the preferred engine for plenty of PHP-driven web apps, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have switched to InnoDB permanently. For example, importing large data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single database row to complete a given task, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is tackled. Put simply, adding new or updating existent data will either be entirely completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back in case a given issue appears during the process, therefore the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Cloud Hosting

While InnoDB is either a paid upgrade or it is not available at all with many web hosts, it’s included in the standard set of services offered with our cloud hosting plans. If you wish to make use of a PHP script-driven app that needs InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to work correctly, you will not need to deal with any problems as the InnoDB database storage engine is available on our custom-built cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of whether you set up a new database and activate an application manually or make use of our single-click app installer software tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the particular application requires it rather than MyISAM. Besides the remarkable database failure recovery that InnoDB offers, we also generate regular backups of all databases, so we can easily restore any database in your shared website hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
