InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, because it provides a much better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery in comparison with the default engine that is used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by a lot of programmers that write scalable apps, since it works better with immense amounts of data, while it keeps the server processing load low. What’s more, it locks only a single row in the database in case any info should be updated, while many other engines lock the entire table and thus need more time to execute several consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification cannot be completed for any reason, the action is rolled back to prevent scrambling or the loss of data. Magento and the latest versions of Joomla™ are two instances of famous open-source script-driven applications that have switched to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Shared Website Hosting

InnoDB is offered with all our shared website hosting packages by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you can install and run any open-source script-powered web app that requires the InnoDB database engine without any obstacles as soon as you open your shared website hosting account. InnoDB will be selected automatically as the default engine for a certain database during the app installation, no matter if you use our single-click installer or create the MySQL database and install the application manually, provided that the application requires InnoDB instead of the more popular MyISAM engine. We’ll generate daily database backups, so you can rest assured that you will never lose any content if you delete a database accidentally or you overwrite some key info – you’ll just need to get in touch with us and we will restore everything back to normal.

Since InnoDB is available on the cloud hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated server account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for each application that needs it without any manual intervention required on your end at any time.
