InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL RDBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has a lot of strengths which have made it the engine of choice for numerous open-source script-powered web apps, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding large volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single database row to execute a certain task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is handled. To put it simply, appending new or updating existing data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back in case some issue appears during the process, therefore the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to use any PHP-based web application that requires InnoDB if you’ve got a Linux cloud web hosting service with our company, as the MySQL storage engine is present on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform by default. Throughout the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will proceed flawlessly in case this engine is needed. You can install apps that use the MyISAM engine without encountering any impediment as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t have to edit anything manually at any moment. On top of that, we’ll also carry out regular backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in the shared web hosting account, so in case you erase or overwrite anything, we can easily restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use a PHP script-based application that needs InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server plans, because all the accounts are set up on our advanced cloud hosting platform where the MySQL database engine is installed. A new database can be created in two ways – manually from the Database Manager section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, or automatically – if you make use of our one-click application installer tool. In either case, the needed engine will be picked automatically once the app’s activation begins, so you will not have to change anything manually, no matter if the app needs InnoDB or the more widely used MyISAM. In addition, we will always be able to retrieve any of your MySQL databases in case you erase one by accident, as we make a couple of MySQL database backups every day, each of which is kept for one whole week.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

All VPS hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB already activated, so you’ll be able to run any PHP-powered application that needs this particular MySQL database storage engine without the need to activate anything manually. You can pick Hepsia on the VPS configuration page and your brand-new server will be set up within the hour, so you can log in and start building your websites straight away. When you create a brand-new MySQL database and start the app activation process, our system will choose the engine for that MySQL database automatically. In this way, you can use various apps simultaneously without the need to configure anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can create a WordPress personal weblog that makes use of MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento web shop that uses the InnoDB engine, for example.
