InnoDB is a popular database engine for MySQL. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got numerous upsides which make it the preferred engine for many open-source script-driven web applications, such as Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB permanently. For instance, adding enormous data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only one database row to accomplish a certain operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is tackled. Put simply, adding new or modifying existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the procedure will be rolled back if any problem appears in the meantime, hence the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Shared Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our shared hosting by default, not as a paid upgrade or upon request, so you can activate and run any PHP-driven software application which needs the database storage engine without any impediments as soon as you activate your shared website hosting account. InnoDB will be selected automatically as the default engine for a certain database during the app installation, irrespective of whether you make use of our 1-click installer or create the MySQL database and set up the app manually, on the condition that the application requires InnoDB instead of the more famous MyISAM engine. We’ll keep regular MySQL database backups, so you can be sure that you’ll never lose any data in case you delete a database unintentionally or you overwrite some crucial information – you simply need to touch base with us and we’ll restore your database back to normal.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you set up a new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel included with all our semi-dedicated server accounts and you begin installing a PHP script-based software application either manually or using our 1-click app installer tool, the database storage engine will be set automatically based on the prerequisites of the particular app. As InnoDB is present on the cloud website hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for each application that requires it without the need for any manual intervention on your end at any point. To avoid any chance of losing data if you update an app or if you erase a database by accident, we’ll carry out backups of all your MySQL databases each day, so if anything happens, we can retrieve your content.

InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting

All VPS web hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB already installed, so you’ll be able to make use of any script-based software app that requires the MySQL storage engine without needing to configure anything manually. You can pick Hepsia on the VPS order page and your brand new VPS server will be set up within sixty minutes, so you can log in and begin creating your websites straight away. Once you set up a new database and begin the app activation process, our system will choose the engine for this MySQL database automatically. In this way, you can install different applications at the same time without having to update anything on the VPS server. You can set up a WordPress weblog that uses MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-based web store that makes use of the InnoDB engine, for instance.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel include a software bundle that’s pre-installed and among everything else, you will get the InnoDB database storage engine, so you won’t have to activate it manually in case you want to use scripts that require it. All it takes to activate such a script is to create a new MySQL database and to begin the setup process – as soon as the installer wizard obtains access to the database in question and begins dumping data in it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database as long as it is the one needed by the script. You will also be able to activate scripts that require MyISAM, the other popular MySQL engine, so you will not have to modify any settings on the server. This will permit you to install various scripts on a single physical machine and to use the latter to its fullest capabilities.
