InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years, because it provides a much better overall performance and an improved crash recovery in comparison to the default engine that is used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by many developers that create highly scalable web apps, since it works more effectively with large volumes of data, while it keeps the server load at a minimum. Furthermore, it uses row-level locking if anything should be updated, whereas many other engines lock the entire table and hence require more time to execute several consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB observes a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – in case the entire data modification process cannot be completed successfully for any reason, the action is rolled back to prevent scrambling or losing data. Magento and the newest versions of Joomla™ are two examples of popular script-driven software platforms which have moved to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

Regardless of whether you set up a new database and activate an app manually or make use of our single-click application installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the application requires InnoDB instead of MyISAM. Besides the remarkable database crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also maintain regular database backups, so we can quickly restore any MySQL database in your shared account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
InnoDB is available with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages by default, so as soon as you get a new account, you can go on and activate any PHP script-powered application that needs this MySQL storage engine. A few engines are installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so when you set up a new database and start installing an app manually, or opt to make use of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated application installer tool, the engine for the database will be selected depending on the particular app’s requirements.
