InnoDB is a MySQL storage engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, as it offers a better overall performance and a faster database crash recovery in comparison with the default engine that is used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by lots of web developers that write highly scalable web apps, due to the fact that it works more efficiently with immense volumes of data, while it keeps the server load low. Additionally, it locks only one database row if anything should be edited, while lots of other engines lock the entire table and hence require much more time to carry out several sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB complies with the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the entire data modification procedure cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the action is rolled back to avoid confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ versions are two instances of widely used open-source script-driven software platforms which have shifted over to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
InnoDB is available by default with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. It’s part of the standard software package that will be pre-installed on all Hepsia-managed dedicated servers, so once your machine is up and running, you will be able to sign in and to install a various open-source script-driven application that needs this storage engine. When you create a new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine till you start installing an app. Once the app setup wizard starts importing information into the newly created database, the engine will be chosen automatically based on the requirements of the given app, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without selecting either of them explicitly at any moment.
