InnoDB is a popular database engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got many pluses that make it the preferred engine for a lot of PHP script-based software apps, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For instance, importing enormous volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, as it locks only one database row to accomplish a given operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the information is treated. Put simply, adding new or updating existent data will either be entirely completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back if any issue occurs during the process, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Web Hosting

You can install any PHP-based software app that requires InnoDB if you’ve got a Linux web hosting with our company, as the MySQL storage engine is present on our avant-garde cloud platform by default. During the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will proceed flawlessly if this engine is required. You can run applications that use the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any impediment as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you will not need to edit anything manually at any moment. In addition, we’ll also generate regular backups of all the databases that you’ve got in the account, so if you erase or overwrite anything, we can easily get it back to the way it was on any of the past 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you set up a brand-new MySQL database through the Control Panel included with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you start installing a PHP script-based web application either manually or using our one-click application installer, the MySQL database storage engine will be selected automatically based on the given app’s requirements. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud web hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated server account will be created, it will be set as the default engine for any application that needs it without any manual action needed on your end at any time. To prevent any chance of losing data if you update an app or if you delete a database by accident, we will perform backups of all your databases every day, so if something happens, we can recover your content.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

When you buy a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to take advantage of our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to run any script-driven software application that requires InnoDB, as this particular MySQL database storage engine is included in the default software bundle that will be installed on your server during its creation. When you create a brand new MySQL database using the hosting Control Panel, you’ll simply have to begin installing an app – manually or using our app installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine given that the app in question needs it, so you will not need to do anything else in your account. Correspondingly, if an 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 among the features which you can pick on the order form when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it is quite likely that you will run popular Internet sites that will draw a lot of visitors, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such websites, we’ll enable it together with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-managed server. If you set up a brand new MySQL database in your account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database engine until you begin installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic scripts installer tool that is included in the Control Panel. The needed engine will be detected and will be set for the database in question, so you can activate scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine, MyISAM, without running into any problem.
