InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got a number of strong sides that have made it the engine of choice for many PHP-powered web applications, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding enormous volumes of data will be faster with InnoDB, since it locks only one database row to execute a task, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the data is treated. Put simply, adding new or updating existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back in case any issue shows up during the process, hence the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

You will be able to make use of any PHP script-based web application that needs InnoDB in case you have a website hosting with our company, as the storage engine is available on our cutting-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 proceed flawlessly if this engine is required. You can run apps that use the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any problem as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t have to configure any setting manually at any moment. In addition, we will also make regular backups of all the databases that you have in your account, so in case you delete or overwrite something, we can quickly get it back to the way it was on any of the previous seven days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you set up a brand new MySQL database from the hosting Control Panel offered with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you begin installing a PHP-powered app either manually or using our single-click app installer, the MySQL database storage engine will be picked automatically based on the prerequisites of the specific application. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud website hosting platform where your new account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for each application that needs it without any manual action needed on your end at any point. To avoid any risk of losing info if you update an app or if you remove a database unintentionally, we will generate backups of all your MySQL databases every day, so if anything goes wrong, we can retrieve your content.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

If you order a VPS server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB database storage engine will be included in the standard software bundle that will be pre-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-driven application that needs InnoDB once your VPS is up and running, which takes no more than sixty minutes after the order submission itself. A few engines are available, so whenever you set up a database via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be activated once the app activation begins and our system will automatically recognize the engine that is required by the app in question. In case you need MyISAM, for instance, you will not need to do anything different from installing the preferred application, whether manually or using our app installer.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the options that you can select on the order form when you buy a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it is rather likely that you will manage popular websites that will draw many individuals, and since InnoDB is among the best choices for such websites, we will activate it together with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server. If you set up a brand new MySQL database in your account, there won’t be any active database storage engine till you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The required engine will be recognized automatically and will be set for that database, so you can make use of scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without running into any complication.
