InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, because it offers a better overall performance and a faster database crash recovery in comparison to the default engine that is used by MySQL – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by plenty of devs that build highly scalable applications, because it works more effectively with enormous data volumes, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. What’s more, it locks only one database row if anything should be edited, while lots of other engines lock the entire database table and thus require much more time to process multiple sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the entire data modification procedure cannot be completed for any reason, the operation is rolled back to avoid scrambling or losing data. Magento and the latest Joomla™ versions are two examples of widely used open-source script-based software applications that have switched to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Cloud Hosting

While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many other web hosting providers, it’s an essential part of the default set of features that we’re offering with our cloud hosting packages. In case you wish to use an open-source script-driven web app that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to operate properly, you will not experience any problems since the InnoDB database storage engine is available on our in-house developed cloud web hosting platform. Irrespective of whether you create a brand-new MySQL database and install an app manually or make use of our one-click app installer tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the specific app needs it instead of MyISAM. In addition to the excellent crash recovery that InnoDB offers, we also keep daily backups of all databases, so that we can quickly restore any database in your shared web hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers include InnoDB and you can use all the features offered by this database storage engine with any PHP script-driven application that requires it. It is one of the engines that we have on our cloud platform, so the one that will be selected depends on the prerequisites of the application in question. You will not have to do anything manually to activate InnoDB, since it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an app – whether manually or using our single-click application installer. To avoid any risk, we’ll perform daily backups of all your MySQL databases, so if anything goes wrong after some update or if you erase some data by mistake, we’ll be able to restore the database the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

All Linux VPS plans that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB already installed, so you will be able to take advantage of any open-source script-powered software application that needs this storage engine without installing anything manually. You can choose Hepsia on the VPS configuration page and your brand new server will be up and running within the hour, so you can log in and start creating your Internet sites straight away. When you create a brand new MySQL database and start the app installation process, our system will choose the engine for this database automatically. Thus, you can activate various apps simultaneously without the need to edit anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can set up a WordPress weblog that uses MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-driven Internet shop that uses InnoDB, for example.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the options that you can select on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it’s rather likely that you will manage very popular websites that will attract many visitors, and since InnoDB is among the best choices for such websites, we’ll enable it along with all the other software applications that are available with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server. When you create a brand new MySQL database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active storage engine until you begin installing a script, whether manually via your web browser or using the automatic scripts installation tool that is available in the Control Panel. The needed engine will be detected and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can run scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine, MyISAM, without coming across any difficulty.
