InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got plenty of advantages which have made it the engine of choice for plenty of script-driven web apps, including Magento and Joomla, which have shifted over to InnoDB permanently. For example, importing huge volumes of data will be faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single database row to execute a certain task, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is treated. In simpler words, importing new or updating existing data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case a given issue occurs during the process, hence the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many other web hosting providers, it is included in the default set of services that we’re offering with our website hosting packages. If you’d like to use a PHP script-powered software application that needs InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to function correctly, you will not need to deal with any difficulties because the MySQL database engine is available on our in-house developed cloud Internet hosting platform. No matter if you set up a brand-new database and activate an application manually or take advantage of our single-click app installer instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the respective app requires InnoDB instead of MyISAM. In addition to the exceptional database failure recovery offered by InnoDB, we also keep regular database backups, so that we can quickly recover any database in your shared web hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers come with InnoDB and you will be able to use all the features offered by this database engine with any PHP-powered web app that needs it. InnoDB is among the engines that are available on our cloud platform, so the one that will be selected depends on the requirements of the specific app. You will not have to do anything manually in order to enable InnoDB, as it will be set as the default engine when you install an application – whether manually or using our one-click application installer. To be on the safe side, we will create regular MySQL database backups, so if anything goes wrong after an update or if you remove some content by accident, we will be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the past 7 days.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the options which you can pick on the server configuration page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful type of hosting, it’s very likely that you will manage popular Internet sites that will draw lots of people, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such websites, we’ll enable it together with all the other software apps that come with a Hepsia-managed server. When you set up a brand new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active MySQL storage engine till you begin installing a PHP script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is integrated into the hosting Control Panel. The needed engine will be recognized and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can use scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without needing to deal with any impediment.
