InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, because it provides a significantly better overall performance and an improved crash recovery compared to the default engine that is used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by numerous programmers that write highly scalable apps, because it works more efficiently with enormous data volumes, while it keeps the server processing load low. Also, it locks only a single row in the database in case any information should be modified, while many other engines lock the entire database table and thus require more time to accomplish several sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB abides by a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for whatever reason, the action is rolled back to avoid confusion or data loss. Magento and the newest versions of Joomla™ are two examples of popular PHP-powered software platforms which have switched over to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Shared Website Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our Linux shared website hosting by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you can activate and manage any PHP-driven app which needs the InnoDB storage engine without the need to deal with any problem once you activate your shared website hosting account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a given MySQL database during the app installation, regardless of whether you make use of our 1-click installer or create the database and install the app manually, as long as the app requires InnoDB instead of the more popular MyISAM engine. We will create daily backups of all your MySQL databases, so you can be sure that you’ll never lose any content in case you erase a database by mistake or you overwrite some vital info – you’ll just need to touch base with us and we’ll restore everything the way it was.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

InnoDB is available with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans by default, so once you get a new semi-dedicated account, you can go ahead and install any open-source script-driven software application that requires this database storage engine. A couple of engines are installed on our cloud platform, so when you set up a brand-new MySQL database and start installing an app manually, or opt to make use of the Hepsia Control Panel-integrated application installer, the engine for the database will be chosen depending on the requirements of the respective application. This will allow you to activate and manage InnoDB-specific applications without needing to cope with any obstacle and without needing to edit any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To take no chances, we’ll always keep a seven-day-old backup of all your databases, so if you remove or alter any content accidentally, we can quickly recover it.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

All Linux VPS hosting plans that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-installed, so you will be able to make use of any open-source script-based app that requires this MySQL database engine without the need to activate anything manually. You can pick Hepsia on the VPS order form and your brand-new server will be set up within one hour, so you can log in and start building your Internet sites straight away. When you create a brand-new MySQL database and start the app installation process, our system will pick the engine for this MySQL database automatically. Thus, you can run different apps at the same time without changing anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can set up a WordPress-driven online journal that uses the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento-powered online shop that uses InnoDB, for instance.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the options which you can pick on the server configuration page when you buy a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it is pretty likely that you will manage highly popular websites that will draw a lot of people, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such sites, we will activate it together with all the other software apps that are offered with a Hepsia-managed server. When you create a brand new MySQL database in your account, there won’t be any active database storage engine till you begin installing a script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic scripts installation tool that is integrated into the hosting Control Panel. The required engine will be recognized automatically and will be set for that database, so you can activate scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without having any impediment.
