InnoDB is a very popular database storage engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got a number of strengths that have made it the preferred engine for plenty of PHP script-powered software apps, among them Magento and Joomla™, which have switched to InnoDB for good. For example, adding huge volumes of data will be faster with InnoDB, because it locks only one row to perform a certain task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is handled. Simply put, adding new or modifying existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back in case any issue shows up in the meantime, therefore the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Cloud Website Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our cloud website hosting services by default, not as a paid upgrade or upon request, so you can activate and manage any script-driven software app that requires the database storage engine without any problems as soon as you open your shared hosting account. InnoDB will be selected automatically as the default engine for a certain MySQL database during the app activation, irrespective of whether you make use of our single-click installation tool or create the database and activate the app manually, on the condition that the application requires it instead of the more famous MyISAM engine. We will carry out daily backups of all your MySQL databases, so you can be sure that you will never lose any data if you erase a database unintentionally or you overwrite some important info – you’ll just have to get in touch with us and we will restore your content the way it was.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated services include InnoDB and you’ll be able to get the most out of all the features of this database engine with any PHP script-based app that needs it. It’s among the engines that are available on our cloud website hosting platform, so the one that will be picked depends on the given app’s prerequisites. You will not have to do anything manually in order to activate InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine when you install an app – whether manually or using our one-click app installer. To avoid any risk, we will keep regular backups of all your databases, so if anything goes wrong after an upgrade or if you delete some data by accident, we will be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the past seven days.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

All Linux VPS hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB already activated, so you’ll be able to run any open-source script-driven software application that requires this particular MySQL storage engine without the need to activate anything manually. You can choose Hepsia on the VPS configuration page and your brand-new VPS server will be set up within 60 minutes, so you can sign in and begin setting up your websites straight away. When you set up a new database and start the app activation process, our system will select the engine for this MySQL database automatically. In this way, you can use various apps at the same time without having to change anything on the server. You can create a WordPress online journal that uses the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento-based e-commerce website that uses the InnoDB engine, for example.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

InnoDB is included as standard with all dedicated hosting services ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It’s included in the standard software package that we install on all Hepsia-equipped dedicated servers, so once your physical machine is set up, you’ll be able to log in and to activate a various PHP script-driven software app that requires this MySQL storage engine. When you create a new database via the Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine until you start installing an application. Once the app setup wizard begins dumping content in the database, the engine will be picked automatically based on the requirements of the given app, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without the need to select either of them explicitly at any moment. In this way, you can use an immense range of apps for your websites.
