InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, because it provides a better overall performance and a faster database crash recovery in comparison to the default engine that is used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by numerous programmers that create scalable software apps, because it works more effectively with enormous data volumes, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. Furthermore, it locks only a single row in the database if anything should be edited, whereas many other engines lock the entire database table and thus require much more time to perform multiple successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB obeys the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the entire data modification process cannot be completed for any reason, the action is rolled back to prevent scrambling or the loss of data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ releases are two instances of widespread script-driven software applications which have moved to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
You will be able to use any PHP script-driven app that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a website hosting with us, as the database storage engine is present on our leading-edge cloud platform by default. Throughout the app activation – 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 that use the MyISAM engine without any difficulty as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t need to change anything manually at any time. On top of that, we will also make regular backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in the shared web hosting account, so in case you delete or overwrite something, we can swiftly get it back to the way it was on any of the previous seven days.

InnoDB is one of the engines that are available on our cloud platform, so the one that will be selected depends on the prerequisites of the respective app. You will not have to do anything manually in order to activate InnoDB, as it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an app – whether manually or using our 1-click application installer tool. To be on the safe side, we’ll maintain daily MySQL database backups, so if something goes wrong following some update or if you remove some data by mistake, we will be able to get the database back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
