InnoDB is a database engine for MySQL databases, which is used by well known PHP script-powered applications like Joomla™ 3.x and Magento. It is ideal for scalable apps, since it works amazingly well when managing immense amounts of data. Instead of locking the whole database table to import new information into a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can process a lot more operations for the same length of time. Additionally, InnoDB offers a faster database failure recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – a set of rules that specify how data imports and modifications should be treated. In case a particular operation has not been thoroughly completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the information in the database will stay undamaged and will not be partially mixed with newly inserted content.

InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to run any script-powered application that needs InnoDB if you’ve got a Linux cloud web hosting package with our company, as the database engine is available on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform as standard. During the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue impeccably in case this engine is required. You can run applications that need the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any problem as well and, once again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you will not have to update any setting manually at any time. What’s more, we’ll also create regular backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in the shared web hosting account, so in case you erase or overwrite something, we can quickly restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated packages support InnoDB and you will be able to take advantage of all the options offered by this storage engine with any PHP script-powered app that requires it. It’s one of the engines that are available on our cloud web hosting platform, so the one that will be used depends on the requirements of the respective app. You won’t have to do anything manually to enable InnoDB, since it will be set as the default engine when you install an application – whether manually or using our single-click application installer tool. To be on the safe side, we’ll make daily MySQL database backups, so if something goes wrong following an update or if you remove some content by mistake, we’ll be able to restore your database the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS

All Linux VPS packages that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB already installed, so you will be able to run any open-source script-based app that requires the storage engine without the need to set up anything manually. You can choose Hepsia on the VPS order form and your new server will be up and running within the hour, so you can log in and begin creating your Internet sites straight away. When you create a new database and begin the app installation process, our system will set the engine for that database automatically. Thus, you can install different applications at the same time without the need to configure anything on the VPS server. You can create a WordPress-powered online blog that makes use of the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento-driven online shopping portal that uses InnoDB, for instance.

InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the options that you can pick on the server configuration page when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful type of hosting, it’s very likely that you will manage very popular websites that will draw many individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such sites, we’ll activate it along with all the other software apps that are available with a Hepsia-managed server. When you set up a new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any active MySQL database engine till you begin installing a script, whether manually through your Internet browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The needed engine will be detected automatically and will be assigned to that database, so you can activate scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without any complication.
