InnoDB is a popular storage engine for the MySQL database management system. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got lots of strong sides which have made it the preferred engine for lots of script-based software applications, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB for good. For instance, importing enormous data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, as it locks only one database row to accomplish a task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is treated. Put simply, appending new or updating existing data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back if a given problem occurs in the meantime, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Cloud Hosting

You can activate any script-powered application that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a cloud hosting with our company, as the database storage engine is available on our leading-edge cloud platform as standard. During the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue flawlessly if this engine is needed. You can run apps which use the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any obstacle as well and, once again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t need to edit any setting manually at any point. On top of that, we will also perform regular backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your shared hosting account, so in case you erase 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

You can run a PHP-powered web application that requires InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server packages, because all the accounts are created on our leading-edge cloud platform where the database storage engine is installed. A new database can be created in two different ways – manually from the Database Manager section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, or automatically – in case you use our one-click app installer tool. In either case, the needed engine will be chosen automatically once the application’s installation starts, so you will not need to configure anything manually, irrespective of whether the app requires InnoDB or the more regularly used MyISAM. On top of that, we will always be able to retrieve any of your databases in case you accidentally erase one, as we generate several MySQL database backups every day, each of which is saved for one week.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the options which you can pick on the order page when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful kind of web hosting, it is rather likely that you will manage very popular Internet sites that will attract a lot of individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the very best choices for such sites, we’ll install it along with all the other software apps that are available with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server. If you create a brand-new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated database storage engine till you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually through your Internet browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be recognized automatically and will be set for the database in question, so you can make use of scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without having to deal with any impediment.
