InnoDB is a database storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widely used PHP script-powered applications such as Magento and Joomla™ 3.x. It is perfect for scalable apps, as it works incredibly well when handling huge data volumes. Instead of locking the whole database table to enter new information into a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can complete much more operations for the same length of time. Plus, InnoDB offers a much better crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that define how data imports and updates should be treated. If a specific operation hasn’t been thoroughly completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the information in the database will stay undamaged and won’t be partially mixed with newly entered content.

InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our Linux cloud web hosting by default, not as a paid upgrade or upon request, so you’ll be able to activate and manage any open-source script-powered app that requires the MySQL database engine without any problem as soon as you order your shared hosting account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a specific database during the app installation process, regardless of whether you make use of our one-click installer or create the database and install the app manually, provided that the app requires InnoDB instead of the more famous MyISAM engine. We’ll store regular backups of all your databases, so you can be certain that you won’t ever lose any content in case you erase a database by accident or you overwrite some key information – you will just need to contact us and we will restore your database the way it was.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you create a new MySQL database from the Control Panel included with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you start installing an open-source script-powered application either manually or using our one-click app installer, the database storage engine will be set automatically based on the requirements of the specific application. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated hosting account will be created, it will be set as the default engine for each application that requires it without any manual action required on your end at any point. To avoid any chance of losing information if you update an application or if you delete a database by mistake, we will carry out a backup of all your databases every day, so if anything happens, we can recover your data.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-installed, so you’ll be able to run any open-source script-powered app that needs the storage engine without needing to configure anything manually. You can select Hepsia on the VPS order page and your brand-new server will be ready within 60 minutes, so you can log in and begin creating your web sites straight away. When you set up a brand new database and begin the app activation process, our system will select the engine for this database automatically. Thus, you can activate various applications simultaneously without the need to update anything on the VPS server. You can create a WordPress-driven personal weblog that makes use of the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento-driven e-store that makes use of the InnoDB engine, for instance.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

InnoDB is available by default with all Linux dedicated service that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. It is part of the default software package that will be installed on all Hepsia-equipped servers, so as soon as your physical machine is up and running, you’ll be able to sign in and to activate any kind of script-driven app that needs this database storage engine. When you set up a new MySQL database through the Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine till you start installing an application. As soon as the app activation wizard starts dumping content in the database, the engine will be selected automatically depending on the prerequisites of the particular application, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without having to select either one explicitly at any point. Thus, you can make use of a wide range of apps for your sites.
