InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got plenty of pluses which make it the preferred engine for numerous PHP script-driven applications, among them Magento and Joomla™, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For example, adding enormous volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only one row to perform a given operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is treated. Simply put, adding new or modifying existing data will either be fully completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back in case a certain issue appears during the process, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to install any PHP-powered software app that requires InnoDB if you have a cloud web hosting with us, as the MySQL database engine is present on our advanced cloud web hosting platform by default. Throughout 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 install applications that require the MyISAM engine without the need to deal with any difficulty as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t need to update any setting manually at any time. In addition, we’ll also generate regular backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in your shared web hosting account, so if you erase or overwrite anything, we can quickly get it back to the way it was on any of the past 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers come with InnoDB and you will be able to take advantage of all the options offered by this storage engine with any script-driven software app that needs it. It is one of the engines that we have on our cloud platform, so the one that will be used depends on the prerequisites of the given app. You won’t need to do anything manually to enable InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an application – whether manually or using our one-click application installer. To be on the safe side, we’ll make daily MySQL database backups, so if something goes wrong after some update or if you remove some data unintentionally, we’ll be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

All Linux VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-installed, so you’ll be able to run any PHP-based software application that requires the database engine without having to set up anything manually. You can select Hepsia on the VPS order page and your brand-new VPS server will be up and running within 60 minutes, so you can log in and begin setting up your websites straight away. Once you set up a new MySQL database and begin the app activation process, our system will pick the engine for this database automatically. Thus, you can make use of various applications simultaneously without editing anything on the VPS server. You can have a WordPress-powered personal weblog that uses the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento-based shopping portal that uses the InnoDB engine, for example.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the options which you can select on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful type of hosting, it is very likely that you’ll run very popular sites that will attract plenty of individuals, and since InnoDB is among the very best choices for such Internet sites, we’ll activate it along with all the other software applications that are available with a Hepsia-equipped server. If you create a brand new database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any active storage engine till you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually through your Internet browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is integrated into the Control Panel. The necessary engine will be detected automatically and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can make use of scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine, MyISAM, without having to cope with any obstacle.
