InnoDB
What?s InnoDB? Why has it been picked up as the default MySQL storage engine?
InnoDB is a MySQL storage engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, as it offers a better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery in comparison to the default engine that is used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by lots of developers that build highly scalable applications, due to the fact that it works much better with enormous volumes of data, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. Moreover, it locks only one database row if any information should be modified, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire table and therefore need much more time to accomplish multiple sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB abides by a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent scrambling or losing data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ editions are two instances of famous open-source script-powered applications that have moved to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
All
Linux dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel include a software bundle that is pre-activated and among everything else, you’ll get the InnoDB storage engine, so you won’t have to activate it manually if you would like to run PHP scripts that require it. All it takes to install such a script is to set up a new database and to initiate the installation process – once the setup wizard gains access to the database in question and begins dumping content in it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database on the condition that it is the one needed by the particular script. You’ll also be able to use scripts that need MyISAM, the other popular MySQL engine, so you won’t need to modify any settings on the dedicated server. This will allow you to activate various scripts on a single server and to use the latter to its full potential.
