InnoDB is a popular database engine for the MySQL DBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got a lot of strengths that have made it the engine of choice for lots of script-powered apps, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have switched to InnoDB for good. For example, importing large volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, as it locks only a single row to perform a particular task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is handled. Put simply, adding new or updating existing data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back if any problem occurs during the process, which is why the content that remains in the database will not be lost.

InnoDB in Cloud Hosting

While InnoDB is either a paid upgrade or it is not available at all with many web hosting providers, it’s an essential part of the standard set of features that we are offering with our cloud hosting packages. If you want to make use of a PHP script-based application that needs InnoDB specifically, in order to be activated and to operate properly, you won’t face any impediments because the MySQL database engine is available on our custom-developed cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of whether you set up a new database and install an application manually or use our one-click application installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the app needs it rather than MyISAM. In addition to the amazing crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also maintain daily backups of all databases, so we can quickly recover any MySQL database in your shared hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our Linux semi-dedicated servers include InnoDB and you will be able to take advantage of all the features of this MySQL database engine with any PHP-powered software application that needs it. InnoDB is one of the engines that are available on our cloud hosting platform, so the one that will be selected depends on the requirements of the given app. You will not have to do anything manually to activate InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine when you install an application – whether manually or using our 1-click application installer tool. To avoid any risk, we’ll perform daily MySQL database backups, so if something goes wrong after an upgrade or if you remove some content by accident, we will be able to restore the database the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

All Linux VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-activated, so you will be able to take advantage of any script-driven app that requires this database engine without the need to activate anything manually. You can select Hepsia on the VPS order form and your new VPS server will be set up within sixty minutes, so you can sign in and begin setting up your websites right away. When you create a brand-new MySQL database and begin the app activation process, our system will set the engine for that MySQL database automatically. In this way, you can make use of various apps at the same time without the need to edit anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can have a WordPress-powered personal blog that uses MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento e-commerce website that uses the InnoDB engine, for instance.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

If you acquire a new dedicated server, you’ll be able to pick one of the 3 Control Panels that we’re offering – Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Each dedicated server ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel comes with InnoDB pre-installed, so you will not have to enable this database engine manually to be able to manage PHP-driven software apps that require it. InnoDB is used for scalable applications and since a dedicated server will offer you all the server resources that you require in order to manage very large websites, it is rather possible that you will use InnoDB. You will be able to make use of other engines as well, so if a given application needs MyISAM instead of InnoDB, you won’t need to deal with any problem while managing it. The engine that will be used will be automatically detected once the app installation procedure starts, so you won’t have to modify any setting manually at any time.
