InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for MySQL. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got numerous pluses which have made it the preferred engine for many open-source script-driven software apps, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have shifted over to InnoDB permanently. For example, importing immense data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, since it locks only a single row to perform a task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is handled. In simpler words, importing new or editing existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be aborted and the procedure will be rolled back in case a certain problem occurs during the process, hence the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Hosting

While InnoDB is either a paid upgrade or it is not available at all with many other web hosting companies, it’s included in the standard set of services that we offer with our hosting packages. If you wish to make use of an open-source script-based app that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be installed and to function correctly, you will not face any problems since the MySQL database engine is available on our in-house built cloud hosting platform. No matter if you set up a new MySQL database and install an application manually or make use of our 1-click application installer software tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the given application needs InnoDB rather than MyISAM. Besides the outstanding database failure recovery that InnoDB offers, we also maintain daily backups of all databases, so that we can quickly recover any MySQL database in your shared hosting account.
