InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by widely used PHP script-driven web apps such as Magento and Joomla™ 3. It’s excellent for scalable apps, since it performs very well when managing enormous amounts of data. Instead of locking the entire database table to append new information to a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can perform much more tasks for the same length of time. Additionally, InnoDB offers a faster database failure recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – a set of rules that determine how data imports and updates should be treated. In case a certain operation hasn’t been fully completed for some reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the information in the database will remain safe and sound and won’t be partially merged with new content.
InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting
You’ll be able to activate any PHP script-driven web application that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a cloud web hosting service with us, as the MySQL database storage engine is available on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform by default. Throughout the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue impeccably in case this engine is needed. You can install apps that require the MyISAM engine without the need to deal with any complication as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you will not have to update any setting manually at any moment. In addition, we’ll also carry out daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in the shared web hosting account, so if you erase or overwrite anything, we can swiftly get it back to the way it was on any of the past seven days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you set up a new MySQL database from the Control Panel coming with each of our semi-dedicated server plans and you start installing a PHP script-driven web app either manually or using our single-click app installer, the MySQL database storage engine will be set automatically based on the prerequisites of the given app. As InnoDB is available on the cloud platform where your new account will be created, it will be set as the default engine for each application that needs it without any manual action needed on your end at any moment. To prevent any chance of losing data if you update an app or if you delete a database by accident, we will generate backups of all your MySQL databases each day, so if something happens, we can restore your content.
