InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for the MySQL RDBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has lots of strong sides which make it the preferred engine for plenty of script-driven software applications, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have shifted over to InnoDB permanently. For example, adding enormous volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only one row to perform a particular operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is tackled. In simpler words, importing new or editing existent data will either be fully completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back in case a given problem shows up during the process, hence the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Shared Hosting

You can activate any PHP-based software app that requires InnoDB if you have a Linux shared hosting with us, as the storage engine is available on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform as standard. During the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will continue flawlessly if this engine is required. You can install applications that require the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any obstacle as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you will not have to change anything manually at any point. What’s more, we’ll also create regular backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in your shared account, so if you delete or overwrite anything, we can swiftly restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is offered with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting by default, so as soon as you create a new account, you can move on and install any open-source script-based web app that requires the MySQL database engine. A couple of engines are pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so when you create a brand new MySQL database and begin installing an application manually, or opt to make use of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated application installer, the engine for the database will be chosen depending on the requirements of the specific application. This will permit you to activate and manage InnoDB-specific apps without experiencing any obstacle and without having to update any settings in your account. To be on the safe side, we will always keep a 7-day-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you remove or edit any content by accident, we can swiftly retrieve it.

InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting

Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the features which you can select on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it is rather likely that you will run popular Internet sites that will attract lots of visitors, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such Internet sites, we will enable it along with all the other software apps that come with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server. If you set up a new database in your account, there won’t be any activated database engine until you begin installing a script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic scripts installer tool that is available in the hosting Control Panel. The needed engine will be detected and will be set for that database, so you can activate scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without any problems.
