InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL database management system. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has plenty of strong sides which have made it the preferred engine for lots of script-powered software applications, such as Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB for good. For example, importing large amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, since it locks only a single row to execute a certain task, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is handled. In simpler words, importing new or modifying existing data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back if a certain issue occurs during the process, thus the content that remains in the database will not be lost.

InnoDB in Shared Website Hosting

You will be able to install any PHP script-driven app that needs InnoDB in case you’ve got a Linux shared website hosting package with us, as the database storage engine is available on our advanced cloud hosting platform as standard. During the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue impeccably if this engine is needed. You can activate applications that need the MyISAM engine without encountering any obstacle as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t need to configure any setting manually at any moment. What’s more, we’ll also carry out regular backups of all the MySQL databases that you have in your shared account, so if you delete or overwrite something, we can swiftly restore it the way it was on any of the past seven days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can make use of an open-source script-powered software app that requires InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server plans, as all the accounts are created on our cutting-edge cloud platform where the MySQL database storage engine is installed. A new database can be created in two different ways – manually through the Database Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, or automatically – in case you use our single-click app installer tool. In either case, the required engine will be picked automatically the moment the application’s installation starts, so you won’t have to configure anything manually, irrespective of whether the application requires InnoDB or the more frequently used MyISAM. Also, we will always be able to retrieve any of your databases if you unintentionally erase one, as we perform several backups every day, each of which is preserved for 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

If you order a virtual private server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB database engine will be included in the standard software package that will be pre-installed on your VPS server before we hand it over to you. You will not have to configure anything manually and you’ll be able to install and use any PHP-based web application that needs InnoDB when your VPS is set up, which takes no more than 1 hour after the order procedure itself. A number of engines are offered, so every time you create a database through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a particular engine will be activated once the app installation process starts and our system will automatically detect the engine that is required by the app in question. If you have to use MyISAM, for example, you will not need to do anything different than installing the app of your preference, whether manually or using our application installer tool.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

InnoDB is included as standard with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. It is part of the standard software package that will be pre-installed on all Hepsia-equipped servers, so once your physical machine is set up, you’ll be able to sign in and to activate any kind of PHP script-powered application that requires this particular storage engine. If you create a new database through the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine till you begin installing an app. As soon as the app activation wizard starts importing information into the newly created database, the engine will be set automatically based on the particular app’s requirements, so you can use both InnoDB and MyISAM without selecting either one specifically at any point. In this way, you can use a large variety of apps for your websites.
