InnoDB is a database storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by popular PHP script-based software apps like Magento and Joomla™ 3. It is excellent for scalable apps, since it works very well when handling enormous data volumes. Rather than locking the whole table to enter new information into a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can complete much more operations for the same length of time. Moreover, InnoDB offers a much faster database crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – a set of rules that define how data inserts and updates should be handled. In case a particular task has not been fully completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the content in the database will be retained intact and will not be partially mixed with newly added content.

InnoDB in Cloud Website Hosting

Any open-source script-based software application that requires InnoDB will run flawlessly on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and the storage engine comes with all our cloud website hosting plans. Every time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation is started, the engine that the database will make use of will be selected based on the app’s specifications without having to modify any setting in your account. InnoDB will be picked automatically for any app that requires this particular engine and you will be able to get the most out of its full potential. We’ll store daily backups of your content, so in case you accidentally erase a database that you need or you overwrite a certain part of it, we will be able to restore your database the way it was just several hours ago.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

All Linux VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB already activated, so you will be able to take advantage of any PHP-based web app that needs the database engine without the need to configure anything manually. You can pick Hepsia on the VPS configuration page and your new server will be ready within the hour, so you can log in and start building your websites straight away. When you create a brand new database and begin the app activation process, our system will choose the engine for that MySQL database automatically. Thus, you can use various applications simultaneously without the need to configure anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can set up a WordPress-driven blog that makes use of MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-driven online store that uses InnoDB, for instance.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the options which you can pick on the order form when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of web hosting, it is quite likely that you’ll manage popular sites that will attract a lot of people, and since InnoDB is among the best choices for such websites, we’ll enable it together with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. When you create a brand-new MySQL database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active MySQL database storage engine till you begin installing a script, whether manually through your browser or using the automatic scripts installer that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be automatically detected and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can use scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without any obstacle.
