InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has numerous advantages which make it the engine of choice for numerous open-source script-driven apps, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing immense amounts of data will be faster with InnoDB, as it locks only a single database row to complete a specific task, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the data is tackled. In simpler words, adding new or modifying existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back in case any issue appears during the process, therefore the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Web Hosting

While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many web hosts, it is an integral part of the default set of services that we are offering with our web hosting plans. In case you’d like to use a PHP-driven software application that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be installed and to function properly, you won’t encounter any problems as the MySQL storage engine is available on our in-house developed cloud website hosting platform. Regardless of whether you create a brand-new database and activate an app manually or take advantage of our one-click app installer instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the given app requires InnoDB rather than MyISAM. In addition to the amazing database crash recovery that InnoDB is offering, we also maintain regular backups of all databases, so we can quickly restore any database in your shared website hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support InnoDB and you can take full advantage of all the features of this MySQL database engine with any open-source script-based software app that requires it. It is among the engines that we have on our cloud website hosting platform, so the one that will be used depends on the requirements of the given application. You won’t need to do anything manually to enable InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an app – whether manually or using our single-click application installer tool. To avoid any risk, we will carry out daily MySQL database backups, so if anything goes wrong following an upgrade or if you delete some content by mistake, we will be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the past seven days.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

When you order a virtual private server from us, you will be able to take advantage of our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to activate any script-powered web app which requires InnoDB, as the MySQL storage engine is an integral part of the software bundle that will be pre-installed on the VPS server during its configuration. When you set up a brand-new database via the Control Panel, you will simply need to begin installing an application – manually or using our app installer. InnoDB will be set as the default engine in case the app in question needs it, so you won’t need to do anything else in your account. Similarly, if an app needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this particular database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the options that you can choose on the order form when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful type of web hosting, it is rather likely that you’ll manage highly popular Internet sites that will attract lots of individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the very best choices for such websites, we’ll activate it along with all the other software apps that are offered with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. If you set up a new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any active database engine till you begin installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic scripts installer that is available in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be detected and will be assigned to that database, so you can activate scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without needing to deal with any impediment.
