InnoDB is a very popular database storage engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got many strengths which make it the engine of choice for lots of PHP script-driven web apps, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For instance, importing huge amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, since it locks only one row to perform a given task, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the information is treated. Simply put, adding new or updating existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back if a certain issue shows up during the process, thus the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Hosting

You will be able to activate any open-source script-driven app that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a Linux hosting with us, as the database engine is available on our advanced cloud hosting platform by default. During the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will continue impeccably in case this engine is needed. You can run apps which require the MyISAM engine without the need to deal with any obstacle as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you will not have to change any setting manually at any point. Furthermore, we will also carry out daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your account, so in case you delete or overwrite anything, we can easily restore it the way it was on any of the previous seven days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is offered with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting by default, so the moment you purchase a new semi-dedicated account, you can move on and install any open-source script-based app that needs this storage engine. A few engines are pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so when you set up a brand-new MySQL database and begin installing an application manually, or opt to make use of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be chosen on the basis of the prerequisites of the respective application. This will permit you to install and run InnoDB-specific applications without coming across any problem and without needing to change any settings in your account. To take no chances, we will always keep a 7-day-old backup of all your databases, so if you delete or edit any content by mistake, we can quickly retrieve it.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

If you get a virtual private server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB database storage engine will be an indivisible part of the software pack that will be pre-installed on your Virtual Private Server before we hand it over to you. You will not have to activate anything manually and you’ll be able to enable and manage any script-based software application that needs InnoDB when your VPS server is up and running, which takes no more than 1 hour after the order submission process itself. A few engines are offered, so anytime you set up a MySQL database through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be picked when the app installation process starts and our system will recognize the engine that is required by the application in question. In case you have to use MyISAM, for example, you won’t have to do anything different from installing the app of your preference, whether manually or using our app installer.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

InnoDB comes as standard with all dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It is an integral part of the standard software package that will be installed on all Hepsia-managed dedicated servers, so once your machine is up and running, you will be able to log in and to activate any kind of PHP-based software app that requires this database storage engine. When you set up a new database through the Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine till you start installing an app. Once the app activation wizard starts inserting information into the database, the engine will be chosen automatically in accordance with the given app’s prerequisites, so you can run both InnoDB and MyISAM without selecting either one explicitly at any moment. In this way, you can use a huge collection of applications for your websites.
