InnoDB is a database storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widely used PHP-based apps like Joomla™ 3 and Magento. It’s perfect for scalable applications, because it performs amazingly well when processing enormous data volumes. Rather than locking the entire table to add new information to a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can handle much more tasks for the same length of time. In addition, InnoDB offers a better crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign keys – a set of rules that define how data inserts and updates should be handled. In case a given operation has not been entirely completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the information in the database will remain safe and sound and will not be partially merged with newly appended content.

InnoDB in Shared Web Hosting

InnoDB is offered with all our Linux shared web hosting by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you’ll be able to activate and run any PHP script-driven software application which requires the MySQL database engine without having to deal with any problem once you open your shared account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a specific MySQL database during the app activation process, regardless of whether you take advantage of our one-click installation tool or create the database and activate the application manually, as long as the application requires it instead of the more popular MyISAM engine. We’ll maintain daily backups of all your databases, so you can rest assured that you won’t ever lose any content in case you delete a database accidentally or you overwrite some important information – you’ll just have to notify us and we will restore your content the way it was.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is offered with all our semi-dedicated hosting services by default, so once you purchase a new account, you can go on and activate any open-source script-driven web app that requires this MySQL storage engine. Several engines are installed on our cloud platform, so when you create a brand-new database and begin installing an application manually, or opt to take advantage of the Hepsia Control Panel-integrated app installer tool, the engine for the database will be selected based on the particular app’s requirements. This will allow you to activate and manage InnoDB-specific apps without running into any complication and without configuring any settings in your account. To take no chances, we’ll always have a 7-day-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you delete or alter any content by mistake, we can quickly rescue it.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

When you get a virtual private server from us, you will be able to take full advantage of our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped VPS will allow you to run any PHP-powered application that requires InnoDB, as this particular database storage engine is an integral part of the software package that will be pre-installed on your server during its setup. When you set up a brand-new database through the Control Panel, you simply have to start installing an application – manually or using our application installer. InnoDB will be set as the default engine in case the app in question needs it, so you will not need to do anything else in your account. Analogously, if an application needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this concrete database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

InnoDB is included as standard with all Linux dedicated web hosting ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It’s an essential part of the software bundle that we install on all Hepsia-equipped servers, so once your machine is assembled, you’ll be able to sign in and to activate a various open-source script-based software app that needs this particular MySQL database engine. When you set up a new database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine until you begin installing an application. As soon as the app installation wizard starts entering content into the newly created database, the engine will be set automatically in accordance with the respective app’s prerequisites, so you can run both InnoDB and MyISAM without the need to select either one of them explicitly at any moment. In this way, you can make use of a huge range of applications for your websites.
