InnoDB
What?s InnoDB? Why has it been selected as the default MySQL storage engine?
InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years, as it offers a much better overall performance and an improved database crash recovery compared to the default engine used by the MySQL RDBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by lots of web developers that run highly scalable apps, due to the fact that it works more effectively with large volumes of data, while it keeps the server processing load low. Also, it locks only a single database row if any information should be edited, whereas many other engines lock the entire database table and thus require much more time to handle multiple sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – in case the modification of the entire data cannot be completed successfully for whatever reason, the action is rolled back to prevent confusion or data loss. Magento and the newest Joomla™ editions are two instances of widespread PHP-powered software applications which have shifted over to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Cloud Hosting
You can install any PHP script-based app that requires InnoDB in case you have a cloud plan with our company, as the database engine is present on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform by default. During the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue impeccably if this engine is required. You can install apps which use the MyISAM engine without any difficulties as well and, once again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t have to update anything manually at any time. Furthermore, we will also perform daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in the account, so if you delete or overwrite something, we can quickly restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
