InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by widely used open-source script-driven software applications like Joomla™ 3 and Magento. It’s perfect for scalable apps, as it works stunningly well when handling large volumes of data. 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 carry out much more tasks for the same length of time. Moreover, InnoDB offers a much faster crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign keys – rules that define how data imports and updates should be treated. In case a particular task hasn’t been fully completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the content in the database will stay undamaged and won’t be partially merged with newly added content.

InnoDB in Cloud Website Hosting

You can run any PHP-driven web application that requires InnoDB in case you have a Linux cloud website hosting service with our company, as the MySQL database engine is present on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform as standard. During the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue flawlessly if this engine is needed. You can install apps that use the MyISAM engine without encountering any obstacle as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you will not have to edit any setting manually at any moment. What’s more, we’ll also create regular backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your shared web hosting account, so if you erase or overwrite something, we can quickly get it back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you set up a new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel coming with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you begin installing an open-source script-driven application either manually or using our single-click app installer, the storage engine for the database will be picked automatically on the basis of the prerequisites of the specific application. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud web hosting platform where your new account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for any app that requires it without the need for any manual intervention on your end at any moment. To avoid any risk of losing data if you update an application or if you remove a database unintentionally, we’ll make a backup of all your databases every day, so if anything goes wrong, we can recover your data.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the features which you can choose on the server order page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful type of hosting, it is very likely that you will manage popular websites that will draw lots of individuals, and since InnoDB is among the best choices for such websites, we’ll install it together with all the other software apps that come with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server. If you set up a new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any active storage engine until you start installing a PHP script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic scripts installation tool that is integrated into the hosting Control Panel. The needed engine will be recognized and will be assigned to that database, so you can use scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without experiencing any obstacle.
