InnoDB is a database storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by well known script-powered web applications like Magento and Joomla™ 3. It’s ideal for scalable applications, since it works amazingly well when processing huge amounts of data. Instead of locking the whole database table to add new information to a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can handle a lot more tasks for the same period of time. Also, InnoDB offers an improved crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign keys – rules that indicate how data inserts and modifications should be treated. If a given operation hasn’t been thoroughly completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the database content will be preserved undamaged and won’t be partially mixed with newly imported content.

Every PHP-powered app that needs InnoDB will function impeccably on our cutting-edge cloud platform and the database storage engine is available with all our cloud hosting plans. Each time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation is started, the engine that the database will make use of will be selected in accordance with the app’s specifications without the need to change any setting in your web hosting account. InnoDB will be chosen automatically for any application that requires this particular engine and you’ll be able to get the most out of its full potential. We’ll store regular backups of your content, so if you accidentally erase a database that is important to you or you overwrite some part of it, we will be able to restore your content the way it was only a couple of hours ago.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

A number of engines are installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so when you create a new MySQL database and start installing an app manually, or decide to make use of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated application installer tool, the engine for the database will be set on the basis of the requirements of the specific application.
