InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it offers a significantly better overall performance and an improved database crash recovery in comparison to the default engine that’s used by the MySQL DBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by a lot of programmers that write scalable software applications, due to the fact that it works much better with enormous volumes of data, while it keeps the server load low. Also, it it locks only one row in the database in case any info should be updated, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire database table and therefore need much more time to perform multiple consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB obeys a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – in case the entire data modification cannot be completed for whatever reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent scrambling or losing data. Magento and the latest Joomla versions are two examples of popular script-powered applications that have switched to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Shared Website Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our shared website hosting services by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you’ll be able to activate and manage any open-source script-based software application which requires the InnoDB storage engine without any difficulty once you order your account. InnoDB will be selected automatically as the default engine for a particular MySQL database during the app activation, no matter if you make use of our single-click installer or create the database and activate the app manually, provided that the app requires InnoDB instead of the more famous MyISAM engine. We’ll generate daily backups of all your MySQL databases, so you can rest assured that you will never lose any content if you delete a database accidentally or you overwrite some essential information – you simply need to inform us and we’ll restore the database the way it was.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you set up a brand new MySQL database from the Control Panel coming with each of our semi-dedicated server accounts and you begin installing a PHP script-powered software app either manually or using our one-click app installer, the MySQL database storage engine will be set automatically on the basis of the prerequisites of the given application. As InnoDB is available on the cloud web hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for any app that requires it without any manual intervention required on your end at any time. To prevent any risk of losing information if you update an application or if you erase a database by accident, we’ll perform backups of all your databases each day, so if something happens, we can recover your data.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

All Linux VPS hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB already activated, so you will be able to run any PHP script-based app that needs this particular MySQL database storage engine without the need to install anything manually. You can select Hepsia on the VPS order form and your new Virtual Private Server will be up and running within one hour, so you can sign in and begin building your sites right away. Once you create a new MySQL database and begin the app installation process, our system will choose the engine for this MySQL database automatically. Thus, you can install different apps at the same time without the need to edit anything on the VPS server. You can have a WordPress-based online journal that makes use of MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-driven web shop that uses InnoDB, for example.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the options that you can choose on the order page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it’s rather likely that you’ll manage highly popular Internet sites that will draw lots of visitors, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such sites, we’ll activate it along with all the other software apps that are offered with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. If you create a brand new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated database storage engine till you begin installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually through your browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is integrated into the hosting Control Panel. The required engine will be detected and will be set for that database, so you can run scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without having to deal with any obstacle.
