InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has lots of strong sides which have made it the preferred engine for plenty of script-based software applications, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing enormous data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, since it locks only a single database row to execute a certain operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the data is handled. In simpler words, adding new or editing existent data will either be entirely completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case some issue appears during the process, therefore the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Hosting

You’ll be able to install any script-powered software app that requires InnoDB in case you have a Linux hosting service with us, as the database engine is available on our avant-garde cloud platform as standard. During the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue impeccably if this engine is required. You can install applications which need the MyISAM engine without the need to deal with any problem as well and, once again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t have to change any setting manually at any time. Furthermore, we will also carry out daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your account, so if you delete or overwrite something, we can easily restore it the way it was on any of the past 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is available with each of our semi-dedicated hosting by default, so once you order a new account, you can move on and install any PHP script-driven software application that needs this particular database engine. Several engines are installed on our cloud platform, so when you set up a new MySQL database and begin installing an application manually, or decide to take advantage of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be set on the basis of the prerequisites of the given application. This will permit you to install and manage InnoDB-specific apps without having to deal with any impediment and without having to edit any settings in your account. To be on the safe side, we will always have a 1-week-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you erase or change any content accidentally, we can swiftly recover it.

InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting

In case our custom Hepsia Control Panel is picked during the signup process for your new Linux virtual private servers , InnoDB will be installed on the Virtual Private Server along with other required pieces of software, so you will not need to do anything if you decide to install PHP-powered web apps that need this MySQL database engine. The default MySQL engine – MyISAM, will be activated too. You can create a new MySQL database and begin the app installation manually or through our one-click installer. The system will detect the engine that the particular application requires and will assign it to the specific database, so the installation will proceed flawlessly and the app can insert its data into that database. Thus, you can run apps with various prerequisites about the MySQL engine without having to make any modifications on your Virtual Private Server.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the options that you can choose on the server configuration page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful kind of web hosting, it’s very likely that you will run popular Internet sites that will draw lots of visitors, and since InnoDB is among the very best choices for such websites, we will install it together with all the other software apps that are available with a Hepsia-managed server. If you create a brand new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated MySQL storage engine till you begin installing a script, whether manually through your Internet browser or using the automatic scripts installation tool that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be automatically detected and will be set for that database, so you can activate scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine, MyISAM, without any problem.
