InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years, as it provides a significantly better overall performance and an improved database crash recovery compared to the default engine used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by lots of web developers that write scalable web apps, since it works much more effectively with huge data volumes, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. In addition, it locks only a single row in the database if anything should be edited, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire database table and hence require more time to accomplish several consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB follows the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the modification of the entire data cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the operation is rolled back to avoid confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the latest Joomla™ releases are two instances of widely used PHP-powered software apps that have switched to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Cloud Website Hosting

Any PHP script-powered web application that requires InnoDB will function flawlessly on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform and the MySQL database storage engine is available with all our cloud website hosting packages. Every time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database will make use of will be selected based on the app’s prerequisites without having to edit any setting in your shared hosting account. InnoDB will be picked automatically for any application that requires this specific engine and you’ll be able to make the most of its full capacity. We will carry out daily content backups, so in case you unintentionally erase a database that you need or you overwrite a specific part of it, we’ll be able to restore your content the way it was only several hours earlier.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can use a PHP script-driven web application that needs InnoDB with all of our semi-dedicated server packages, since all the accounts are set up on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform where the MySQL database engine is installed. A new database can be set up in two separate ways – manually through the Database Manager section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, or automatically – when you use our one-click application installer. Either way, the required engine will be picked automatically once the activation of the application starts, so you won’t have to update anything manually, regardless of whether the app requires InnoDB or the more commonly used MyISAM. Furthermore, we’ll always be able to retrieve any of your databases in case you erase one by accident, as we carry out several backups every day, each of which is kept for seven days.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

If you acquire a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped VPS will allow you to use any script-driven application that needs InnoDB, as the MySQL database storage engine is part of the software package that will be installed on the Virtual Private Server during its configuration. When you set up a brand new database using the Control Panel, you just have to start installing an app – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine if the app in question requires it, so you will not need to do anything else in your VPS account. Similarly, if a certain app needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this concrete MySQL database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia Control Panel is one of the options which you can select on the server configuration page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful type of web hosting, it is quite likely that you’ll run highly popular sites that will draw plenty of visitors, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such sites, we will enable it along with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. When you create a brand-new MySQL database in your account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database storage engine until you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually through your browser or using the automatic scripts installer tool that is integrated into the Control Panel. The required engine will be recognized automatically and will be set for that database, so you can use scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without any complication.
