InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by famous open-source script-driven web applications like Magento and Joomla™ 3.x. It’s ideal for scalable apps, as it works incredibly well when managing large data volumes. Instead of locking the whole database table to enter new information into a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can execute a lot more operations for the same length of time. Plus, InnoDB offers a faster database failure recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that indicate how data imports and updates should be treated. If a particular task has not been fully completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the content in the database will stay safe and sound and won’t be partially merged with new content.

InnoDB in Shared Hosting

Any open-source script-based web app that needs InnoDB will function flawlessly on our avant-garde cloud platform and the MySQL storage engine is offered with all our shared hosting plans. Each time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation process is started, the engine that the database in question will use will be selected based on the app’s prerequisites without the need to modify any setting in your account. InnoDB will be chosen automatically for any application that requires this particular engine and you will be able to get the most out of its full potential. We’ll carry out daily content backups, so if you accidentally delete a MySQL database that is important to you or you overwrite specific parts of it, we will be able to restore your data the way it was just a couple of hours earlier.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB comes with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting by default, so once you get a new semi-dedicated account, you can go ahead and install any script-powered web application that needs this MySQL database engine. A few engines are pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so when you set up a brand new database and start installing an app manually, or decide to take advantage of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be selected in accordance with the requirements of the respective application. This will permit you to install and manage InnoDB-specific applications without having to deal with any problem and without having to update any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To avoid any risk, we’ll always have a seven-day-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you delete or alter any content unintentionally, we can quickly restore it.

InnoDB in VPS

If you choose a virtual private server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB database engine will be included in the default software pack that will be installed on your Virtual Private Server before we give it to you. You won’t need to activate anything manually and you will be able to install and manage any PHP script-driven app that needs InnoDB when your VPS is up and running, which takes no more than one hour after the order submission procedure itself. A number of engines are offered, so whenever you create a database through the Hepsia Control Panel, a specific engine will be activated when the app activation begins and our system will automatically detect the engine that is required by the app in question. If you need to use MyISAM, for instance, you won’t need to do anything different from installing the preferred application, whether manually or using our app installer.

InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting

Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the options that you can select on the server configuration page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it is pretty likely that you will run very popular Internet sites that will draw lots of visitors, and since InnoDB is one of the very best choices for such sites, we’ll enable it together with all the other software apps that are available with a Hepsia-equipped server. When you create a new database in your account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database engine until you start installing an open-source script, whether manually through your browser or using the automatic script installer that is integrated into the Control Panel. The necessary engine will be detected and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can run scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without having to cope with any impediment.
