InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by popular PHP script-driven software apps such as Joomla™ 3.x and Magento. It is ideal for scalable applications, since it performs unbelievably well when processing enormous amounts of data. Instead of locking the entire table to import new information into a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can complete much more tasks for the same length of time. Additionally, InnoDB offers a much faster database crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that determine how data imports and updates should be treated. If a particular operation hasn’t been entirely completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the content in the database will be preserved undamaged and won’t be partially merged with newly appended content.

InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with other web hosting companies, it’s part of the default set of features offered with our cloud web hosting packages. In case you wish to use an open-source script-based application that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be installed and to work properly, you will not have to deal with any difficulties as the MySQL database storage engine is available on our custom cloud platform. No matter if you set up a new MySQL database and activate an application manually or make use of our single-click app installer instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the respective app needs it instead of MyISAM. Besides the incredible database crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also perform regular backups of all databases, so that we can swiftly restore any MySQL database in your shared hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB comes with each of our Linux semi-dedicated packages by default, so as soon as you purchase a new account, you can go ahead and install any PHP script-based application that needs this storage engine. Several engines are installed on our cloud hosting platform, so when you set up a brand new database and start installing an app manually, or opt to make use of the Hepsia Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be set based on the respective app’s prerequisites. This will permit you to activate and run InnoDB-specific applications without any impediment and without needing to modify any settings in your account. To avoid any risk, we’ll always keep a 1-week-old backup of all your databases, so if you remove or alter any content accidentally, we can swiftly retrieve it.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

If you select a virtual private server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB database engine will be an integral part of the standard software package that will be installed on your server before we hand it over to you. You will not have to set up anything manually and you will be able to install and run any open-source script-powered software application that needs InnoDB when your VPS server is ready, which takes no more than 1 hour after the order submission itself. Several engines are available, so every time you set up a database via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be selected once the app installation commences and our system will automatically recognize which engine is required by the application in question. If you need to use MyISAM, for instance, you won’t have to do anything different from installing the desired app, whether manually or using our app installer tool.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you get a new dedicated server, you’ll be able to select any of the 3 hosting Control Panels that we’re offering – cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin. Any dedicated server ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel comes with InnoDB pre-activated, so you will not need to add this MySQL database engine manually so as to be able to run PHP-based software applications that require it. InnoDB is used for scalable apps and since a dedicated server will give you all the resources that you require in order to manage large-size websites, it is very possible that you’ll resort to InnoDB. You’ll be able to make use of other engines as well, so in case a given app requires MyISAM rather than InnoDB, you won’t come across any problem while managing it. The engine that will be used will be automatically detected as soon as the app installation begins, so you won’t need to update any setting manually whatsoever.
