InnoDB is a MySQL storage engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, as it offers a significantly better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery compared with the default engine used by the MySQL RDBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by many web developers that write highly scalable software applications, as it works better with large volumes of data, while it keeps the server load at a minimum. Also, it locks only a single database row if anything should be edited, while lots of other engines lock the entire table and thus require much more time to accomplish several consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the entire data modification cannot be completed successfully for any reason, the operation is rolled back to avoid confusion or losing data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ releases are two examples of famous script-based apps that have switched to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Cloud Website Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our Linux cloud website hosting packages by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you will be able to install and manage any open-source script-powered app which needs the storage engine without any impediments as soon as you order your account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a certain database during the app activation, irrespective of whether you make use of our single-click installer or create the MySQL database and install the app manually, on the condition that the application requires it instead of the more popular MyISAM engine. We’ll maintain daily MySQL database backups, so you can be sure that you won’t ever lose any content in case you delete a database unintentionally or you overwrite some essential info – you’ll just have to contact us and we will restore your data the way it was.

InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting

InnoDB comes as standard with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It is part of the standard software bundle that will be installed on all Hepsia-managed dedicated servers, so as soon as your physical machine is ready, you will be able to sign in and to install any script-powered app that needs this particular database storage engine. If you create a new database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine till you begin installing an application. Once the app configuration wizard starts inserting data into the database, the engine will be set automatically based on the respective app’s requirements, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without selecting either one explicitly at any time. Therefore, you can make use of a large range of apps for your sites.
