InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL database management system. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got lots of pluses which make it the preferred engine for a lot of open-source script-driven web applications, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For example, adding huge data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only one row to carry out an operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is handled. To put it simply, adding new or modifying existing data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back in case a certain issue appears in the meantime, so the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
InnoDB is available with all our Linux website hosting packages by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you can activate and manage any PHP-based application that requires the MySQL storage engine without any problem once you order your shared web hosting account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a particular MySQL database during the app installation process, no matter if you make use of our single-click installer or create the database and install the application manually, provided that the application requires InnoDB instead of the more popular MyISAM engine. We will maintain daily database backups, so you can rest assured that you won’t ever lose any data if you delete a database by accident or you overwrite some key information – you simply have to inform us and we’ll restore the database back to normal.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you set up a brand-new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel offered with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you start installing a PHP script-based software application either manually or using our single-click app installer, the storage engine for the database will be set automatically on the basis of the particular app’s requirements. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for any application that requires it without any manual action required on your end at any time. To prevent any risk of losing info if you update an application or if you remove a database accidentally, we will perform a backup of all your MySQL databases each day, so if something goes wrong, we can rescue your data.
InnoDB in VPS Hosting
If you obtain a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to make use of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-managed VPS will permit you to use any PHP script-based software application which requires InnoDB, as this MySQL database storage engine is included in the software package that will be pre-installed on your server during its setup. When you create a new database via the hosting Control Panel, you just have to begin installing an app – manually or using our app installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine if the app in question requires it, so you won’t have to do anything else in your account. In the same manner, if a certain application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific MySQL database.

It is an integral part of the standard software package that will be installed on all Hepsia-equipped dedicated servers, so once your physical machine is assembled, you will be able to log in and to install a various open-source script-powered application that needs this particular MySQL database engine. If you set up a new MySQL database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine until you start installing an app. As soon as the app activation wizard begins inserting data into the database, the engine will be chosen automatically based on the requirements of the app in question, so you can run both MyISAM and InnoDB without the need to select either one of them specifically at any moment. In this way, you can use an immense variety of apps for your Internet sites.
