InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years, because it offers a significantly better overall performance and a faster crash recovery compared with the default engine used by MySQL – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by plenty of devs that run scalable applications, due to the fact that it works better with large volumes of data, while it keeps the server processing load low. Furthermore, it it locks only one row in the database in case anything should be modified, while lots of other engines lock the entire database table and therefore need more time to handle several successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification process cannot be completed successfully for any reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent scrambling or losing data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ releases are two instances of famous open-source script-powered web applications which have switched to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Shared Web Hosting

Every PHP-powered application that needs InnoDB will run flawlessly on our avant-garde cloud platform and the storage engine is offered with all our shared web hosting packages. Each time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database in question will make use of will be selected based on the app’s prerequisites without the need to edit any setting in your shared account. InnoDB will be chosen automatically for any application that requires this particular engine and you’ll be able to make the most of its full potential. We will generate daily backups of your content, so in case you unintentionally erase a database that is important to you or you overwrite some part of it, we’ll be able to restore your database the way it was just several hours earlier.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is included with each of our semi-dedicated hosting by default, so as soon as you buy a new account, you can go on and activate any script-driven software app that needs the storage engine. Several engines are installed on our cloud platform, so when you set up a new database and begin installing an application manually, or decide to take advantage of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be selected based on the particular app’s prerequisites. This will allow you to activate and run InnoDB-specific apps without needing to deal with any impediment and without the need to update any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To be on the safe side, we will always keep a 1-week-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you delete or edit any content by accident, we can quickly restore it.

InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting

If you acquire a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to make use of our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped VPS will allow you to install any script-based web app that needs InnoDB, as this MySQL database storage engine is an integral part of the standard software package that will be pre-installed on your VPS server during its creation. When you create a new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel, you simply need to begin installing an app – manually or using our app installer. InnoDB will be set as the default engine if the application in question requires it, so you won’t have to do anything else in your account. Correspondingly, if an application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting

InnoDB is included by default with all dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It’s an integral part of the standard software package that we install on all Hepsia-managed servers, so once your machine is up and running, you will be able to log in and to install any type of PHP-powered software application that needs this particular MySQL storage engine. If you set up a new database through the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine until you begin installing an app. Once the app activation wizard starts entering information into the newly created database, the engine will be selected automatically on the basis of the prerequisites of the specific application, so you can run both InnoDB and MyISAM without the need to select either one of them explicitly at any point. Therefore, you can make use of a huge collection of applications for your Internet sites.
