InnoDB is a very popular database storage engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got many strengths which have made it the preferred engine for plenty of PHP script-based software applications, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched to InnoDB for good. For example, importing large data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, as it locks only a single row to accomplish a particular operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the data is handled. In simpler words, importing new or updating existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be aborted and the procedure will be rolled back if some issue appears during the process, so the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

You will be able to run any PHP script-based software application that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a Linux website hosting package with our company, as the MySQL database storage engine is available on our advanced cloud website hosting platform as standard. Throughout the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue flawlessly if this engine is required. You can run apps which require the MyISAM engine without having any problem as well and, once again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t have to edit anything manually at any moment. In addition, we’ll also make regular backups of all the databases that you have in your shared web hosting account, so if you delete or overwrite anything, we can quickly restore it the way it was on any of the past 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

When you purchase a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to take advantage of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped Virtual Private Server will permit you to activate any PHP script-driven web application which needs InnoDB, as this particular database engine is included in the default software bundle that will be pre-installed on the server during its creation. When you create a brand-new MySQL database using the hosting Control Panel, you simply have to start installing an application – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine on the condition that the application in question needs it, so you will not have to do anything else in your account. Correspondingly, if a certain app needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this concrete database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

InnoDB is available as standard with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. It is an integral part of the default software bundle that will be pre-installed on all Hepsia-managed servers, so as soon as your physical machine is assembled, you’ll be able to log in and to install a various script-driven software app that needs this database storage 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 configuration wizard begins entering information into the database, the engine will be selected automatically based on the requirements of the respective app, so you can run both InnoDB and MyISAM without having to select either one specifically at any time. Thus, you can make use of an immense range of applications for your websites.
