InnoDB is a MySQL storage engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, as it provides a better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery compared to the default engine that is used by the MySQL RDBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by many developers that create scalable web applications, because it works better with immense data volumes, while it keeps the server load at a minimum. Moreover, it locks only one database row in case anything should be edited, while lots of other engines lock the entire table and therefore need more time to handle multiple successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB complies with a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification process cannot be completed for some reason, the action is rolled back to prevent scrambling or the loss of data. Magento and the latest Joomla™ editions are two instances of popular script-based software applications that have moved to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Shared Web Hosting
Any script-powered web application that needs InnoDB will function impeccably on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and the storage engine comes with all our shared web hosting plans. Whenever you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation is started, the engine that the database in question will make use of will be selected in accordance with the app’s specifications without the need to edit any setting in your shared hosting account. InnoDB will be picked automatically for any app that requires this specific engine and you will be able to take advantage of its full capacity. We’ll make daily content backups, so if you accidentally delete a database that you need or you overwrite some part of it, we will be able to restore your data the way it was just a couple of hours ago.

You can make use of a PHP-powered web app that requires InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server packages, because all the accounts are set up on our advanced cloud web hosting platform where the database engine is installed. A new database can be created in two different ways – manually through the Database Manager section of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, or automatically – when you take advantage of our one-click app installer. Either way, the required engine will be selected automatically the moment the application’s installation begins, so you will not need to configure anything manually, no matter if the app needs InnoDB or the more widely used MyISAM. Also, we’ll always be able to retrieve any of your databases in case you accidentally delete one, as we perform a few database backups every day, each of which is kept for one whole week.

Thus, you can manage different apps at the same time without having to edit anything on the server.
