InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for the MySQL RDBMS. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has lots of strengths which make it the engine of choice for a lot of PHP script-based applications, including Magento and Joomla™, which have moved to InnoDB for good. For instance, importing immense volumes of data will be faster with InnoDB, as it locks only one row to execute a given task, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the information is tackled. In simpler words, appending new or modifying existing data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the procedure will be rolled back if a given issue shows up in the meantime, thus the content that remains in the database will not be lost.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

Any PHP script-powered software application that needs InnoDB will function impeccably on our advanced cloud hosting platform and the MySQL database storage engine is offered with all our website hosting packages. Each time you create a database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database in question will use will be selected in accordance with the app’s requirements without having to configure any setting in your hosting account. InnoDB will be chosen automatically for any application that requires this specific engine and you’ll be able to make the most of its full potential. We’ll maintain regular backups of your content, so if you accidentally erase a database that is important to you or you overwrite a specific part of it, we’ll be able to restore everything the way it was just a few hours ago.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting include InnoDB and you will be able to take full advantage of all the options offered by this database storage engine with any PHP-based web application that needs it. It is one of the engines that are available on our cloud hosting platform, so the one that will be used depends on the particular app’s prerequisites. You won’t need to do anything manually to enable InnoDB, as it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an app – whether manually or using our single-click app installer. To be on the safe side, we will store regular MySQL database backups, so if anything goes wrong after an update or if you remove some data by accident, we’ll be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the past 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

If you order a virtual private server from us, you will be able to make use of our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped Virtual Private Server will permit you to activate any script-powered app which needs InnoDB, as this particular database storage engine is included in the software package that will be pre-installed on the server during its setup. When you create a brand-new database via the hosting Control Panel, you will simply have to start installing an app – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine given that the application in question requires it, so you won’t have to do anything else in your VPS account. Similarly, if a certain application needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific MySQL database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

Our Hepsia Control Panel is one of the features that you can select on the order form when you buy a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it’s very likely that you’ll manage very popular sites that will attract many visitors, and since InnoDB is among the very best choices for such sites, we’ll install it along with all the other software applications that come with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. If you create a new MySQL database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database storage engine till you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic script installation tool that is integrated into the Control Panel. The required engine will be automatically detected and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can run scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without needing to deal with any complication.
