InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got a number of strong sides which have made it the engine of choice for numerous open-source script-based apps, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding enormous amounts of data will be faster with InnoDB, as it locks only a single row to complete a specific task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the data is handled. In simpler words, appending new or modifying existing data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back in case a certain issue shows up in the meantime, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

Every open-source script-based web app that requires InnoDB will run impeccably on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and the database storage engine is available with all our website hosting packages. Whenever you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation is started, the engine that the database in question will make use of will be selected on the basis of the app’s prerequisites without having to edit any setting in your account. InnoDB will be chosen automatically for any app that requires this specific engine and you will be able to make the most of its full potential. We’ll perform daily content backups, so if you accidentally delete a database that’s important to you or you overwrite a specific part of it, we’ll be able to restore your database the way it was only several hours ago.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you create a brand new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel included with each of our semi-dedicated server plans and you start installing a PHP-powered web app either manually or using our single-click application installer tool, the storage engine for the MySQL database will be picked automatically based on the prerequisites of the app in question. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for each app that requires it without the need for any manual action on your end at any time. To prevent any risk of losing data if you update an app or if you delete a database by accident, we will generate backups of all your databases every day, so if something happens, we can rescue your data.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

If you order a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to take advantage of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to run any script-based application that needs InnoDB, as the storage engine is part of the software package that will be pre-installed on your server during its setup. When you create a brand-new database using the Control Panel, you will just need to start installing an app – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine on the condition that the application in question requires it, so you won’t need to do anything else in your VPS account. Similarly, if an app requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia Control Panel is one of the features which you can choose on the server order page when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of web hosting, it’s very likely that you’ll run popular sites that will attract many people, and since InnoDB is among the best choices for such sites, we will activate it along with all the other software apps that come with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. When you set up a new MySQL database in your account, there won’t be any active MySQL database storage engine until you start installing a PHP script, whether manually via your web browser or using the automatic scripts installer that is integrated into the Control Panel. The necessary engine will be recognized automatically and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can use scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without having to cope with any obstacle.
