InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, because it provides a much better overall performance and a faster crash recovery compared with the default engine that’s used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by lots of devs that run highly scalable web applications, as it works more efficiently with immense amounts of data, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. Additionally, it locks only a single row in the database if any info should be updated, whereas many other engines lock the entire table and hence require much more time to carry out multiple sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the modification of the entire data cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent scrambling or the loss of data. Magento and the newest editions of Joomla™ are two examples of widespread PHP-driven web applications which have shifted over to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Shared Website Hosting

During the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue flawlessly in case this engine is needed. You can activate apps which need the MyISAM engine without any problems as well and, once again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t have to edit anything manually at any moment. In addition, we’ll also make daily backups of all the databases that you have in the shared web hosting account, so if you erase or overwrite anything, we can swiftly get it back to the way it was on any of the past 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

A few engines are pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so when you set up a brand-new database and start installing an app manually, or opt to make use of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be chosen on the basis of the requirements of the application in question. This will permit you to activate and manage InnoDB-specific applications without the need to deal with any impediment and without needing to update any settings in your account.
