InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by popular PHP script-based software applications like Magento and Joomla™ 3.x. It’s perfect for scalable apps, because it performs exceptionally well when managing immense amounts of data. Rather than locking the whole table to enter new information into a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can complete much more operations for the same length of time. What’s more, InnoDB offers an improved database failure recovery and supports transactions and foreign keys – a set of rules that prescribe how data imports and updates should be treated. In case a specific task has not been entirely completed for some reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the content in the database will remain undamaged and will not be partially merged with new content.

InnoDB in Website Hosting

Any open-source script-driven application that needs InnoDB will run impeccably on our innovative cloud website hosting platform and the database storage engine is available with all our website hosting plans. Every time you create a database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database will use will be selected on the basis of the app’s specifications without the need to modify any setting in your web hosting account. InnoDB will be selected automatically for any app that requires this particular engine and you’ll be able to get the most out of its full potential. We will perform daily content backups, so in case you accidentally delete a MySQL database that you need or you overwrite specific parts of it, we’ll be able to restore everything the way it was only a few hours ago.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can install a script-driven software app that requires InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server packages, because all the accounts are set up on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform where the database engine is installed. A new database can be set up in two separate ways – manually from the Database Manager section of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, or automatically – if you take advantage of our single-click application installer. In either case, the needed engine will be chosen automatically once the app’s installation begins, so you will not need to modify anything manually, no matter if the app needs InnoDB or the more widely used MyISAM. On top of that, we will always be able to retrieve any of your MySQL databases if you remove one by accident, as we generate a couple of MySQL database backups every day, each of which is stored for seven days.

InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting

If you get a virtual private server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB database storage engine will be part of the software bundle that will be pre-installed on your VPS server before we hand it over to you. You will not need to set up anything manually and you’ll be able to install and manage any open-source script-powered web application that needs InnoDB once your Virtual Private Server is set up, which takes no more than 1 hour after the order submission process itself. A couple of engines are offered, so whenever you set up a MySQL database through the Hepsia Control Panel, a specific engine will be activated when the app installation process commences and our system will automatically detect the engine that is required by the application in question. In case you need to use MyISAM, for example, you won’t have to do anything different from installing the app of your preference, whether manually or using our app installer tool.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with a software package that’s pre-installed and besides everything else, you will get the InnoDB database storage engine, so you won’t have to install it manually if you’d like to run PHP scripts that need it. All it takes to install such a script is to create a new MySQL database and to initiate the setup – as soon as the script installation wizard receives access to the database and starts importing content into it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database on the condition that it is the one required by the script. You will also be able to run scripts that require the other popular MySQL engine – MyISAM, so you won’t need to configure any settings on the server. This will allow you to install different scripts on a single machine and to use the latter to its full potential.
