InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years, as it offers a significantly better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery compared to the default engine used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by numerous programmers that write scalable web applications, as it works more efficiently with enormous volumes of data, while it keeps the server processing load low. Additionally, it uses row-level locking if any info should be modified, whereas many other engines lock the entire database table and hence need more time to accomplish several successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB abides by the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the entire data modification process cannot be completed successfully for any reason, the operation is rolled back to avoid confusion or data loss. Magento and the latest Joomla releases are two instances of widespread open-source script-powered software apps which have shifted over to InnoDB.

InnoDB is offered with all our Linux cloud packages by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you will be able to install and run any PHP-driven application that requires the InnoDB database engine without having to deal with any obstacle once you order your account. InnoDB will be selected automatically as the default engine for a specific MySQL database during the app installation, no matter if you make use of our one-click installer or create the MySQL database and install the app manually, on the condition that the app requires it instead of the more famous MyISAM engine. We will make daily backups of all your databases, so you can be certain that you’ll never lose any content in case you delete a database accidentally or you overwrite some essential info – you will just have to get in touch with us and we will restore everything back to normal.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is one of the engines that we have on our cloud platform, so the one that will be picked depends on the given app’s requirements. You won’t need to do anything manually in order to enable InnoDB, because 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 will maintain regular backups of all your MySQL databases, so if something goes wrong following some update or if you delete some data by accident, we will be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the previous seven days.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
If you get a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to take full advantage of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-equipped VPS will permit you to install any script-based software app which needs InnoDB, as this particular MySQL database storage engine is part of the software package that will be installed on your VPS server during its configuration. When you create a brand new MySQL database through the Control Panel, you’ll just need to begin installing an app – manually or using our app installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine given that the application in question requires it, so you will not need to do anything else in your account. Analogously, if a given application needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific MySQL database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the features that you can select on the order page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful kind of web hosting, it is very likely that you’ll manage popular sites that will draw many visitors, and since InnoDB is among the very best options for such websites, we’ll install it together with all the other software apps that are offered with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. When you create a new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any active database engine till you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic script installer that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be recognized automatically and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can make use of scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without encountering any difficulty.
