InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity lately, as it provides a better overall performance and a faster database crash recovery in comparison to the default engine that is used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by numerous devs that write scalable apps, as it works better with large amounts of data, while it keeps the server processing load low. What’s more, it locks only a single row in the database in case anything should be modified, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire database table and thus require much more time to perform several consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB abides by the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the modification of the entire data cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the operation is rolled back to avoid confusion or data loss. Magento and the newest releases of Joomla™ are two instances of popular PHP-based web applications that have moved to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to use any open-source script-powered software app that requires InnoDB if you’ve got a Linux shared hosting package with us, as the MySQL database storage engine is available on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform by default. Throughout 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 run applications that use the MyISAM engine without encountering any problem as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t need to update anything manually at any point. On top of that, we will also generate daily backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in the account, so in case you erase or overwrite anything, we can swiftly restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated packages include InnoDB and you’ll be able to use all the features of this MySQL database storage engine with any PHP-based application that requires it. InnoDB is one of the engines that are available on our cloud platform, so the one that will be picked depends on the requirements of the particular application. You won’t have to do anything manually in order to activate InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine when you install an app – whether manually or using our 1-click app installer. To avoid any risk, we’ll perform regular backups of all your MySQL databases, so if something goes wrong after an upgrade or if you erase some data by accident, we’ll be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the previous seven days.

InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting

If you buy a virtual private server from us, you will be able to take advantage of our custom Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-managed VPS will permit you to install any PHP script-powered software app which needs InnoDB, as the storage engine is an essential part of the standard software bundle that will be pre-installed on your VPS server during its creation. When you create a new database via the hosting Control Panel, you will simply need to begin installing an application – manually or using our app installer. InnoDB will be set as the default engine in case the app in question requires it, so you won’t need to do anything else in your account. Equivalently, if a certain application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this concrete database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting

InnoDB is available by default with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It is included in the default software bundle that we install on all Hepsia-equipped servers, so as soon as your physical machine is up and running, you’ll be able to sign in and to activate any type of PHP-driven software app that needs this particular database engine. If you set up a new MySQL database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine until you start installing an app. Once the app configuration wizard starts importing content into the newly created database, the engine will be picked automatically in accordance with the specific app’s prerequisites, so you can run both InnoDB and MyISAM without having to select either one of them specifically at any time. Therefore, you can use a huge range of apps for your Internet sites.
