InnoDB is a very popular database engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got numerous upsides which have made it the preferred engine for plenty of PHP script-based software apps, such as Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For example, adding enormous amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single database row to execute a particular task, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is tackled. In simpler words, importing new or modifying existent data will either be fully completed, or will be aborted and the procedure will be rolled back in case any issue shows up in the meantime, so the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Cloud Hosting

InnoDB is offered with all our Linux cloud hosting packages by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you can activate and run any PHP script-powered application which requires the storage engine without having to deal with any difficulty as soon as you activate your account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a specific database during the app installation process, no matter if you take advantage of our single-click installer or create the MySQL database and set up the app manually, as long as the app requires InnoDB instead of the more popular MyISAM engine. We will generate daily database backups, so you can rest assured that you won’t ever lose any data if you erase a database by mistake or you overwrite some key information – you just need to alert us and we will restore the database back to normal.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you set up a brand-new MySQL database through the Control Panel included with all our semi-dedicated server accounts and you start installing a PHP-powered app either manually or using our one-click application installer tool, the MySQL database storage engine will be picked automatically depending on the prerequisites of the specific application. As InnoDB is present on the cloud platform where your new semi-dedicated hosting account will be created, it will be set as the default engine for any application that needs it without the need for any manual intervention on your end at any point. To avoid any risk of losing info if you update an application or if you remove a database by mistake, we will generate backups of all your databases each day, so if anything goes wrong, we can recover your data.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

InnoDB is included by default with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It’s an integral part of the software bundle that will be pre-installed on all Hepsia-managed servers, so once your physical machine is up and running, you will be able to log in and to install any type of script-powered web app that requires this particular MySQL storage engine. When you set up a new MySQL database through the Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine until you start installing an application. Once the app installation wizard begins inserting data into the newly created database, the engine will be picked automatically depending on the prerequisites of the specific app, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without selecting either of them explicitly at any moment. In this way, you can use a vast variety of apps for your sites.
