InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, because it provides a significantly better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery compared with the default engine used by the MySQL RDBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by a lot of programmers that run scalable applications, since it works better with immense volumes of data, while it keeps the server load at a minimum. What’s more, it locks only a single row in the database if anything should be modified, whereas many other engines lock the entire database table and thus need much more time to execute several sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the entire data modification cannot be completed for some reason, the action is rolled back to avoid confusion or data loss. Magento and the latest Joomla™ editions are two instances of popular PHP script-powered applications which have switched over to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many web hosts, it is part of the default set of services that we offer with our cloud web hosting plans. If you wish to make use of a PHP-driven web application that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be installed and to work correctly, you will not have any impediments since the InnoDB database storage engine is available on our in-house developed cloud hosting platform. Regardless of whether you set up a brand new database and activate an app manually or use our 1-click application installer tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the particular application needs InnoDB instead of MyISAM. In addition to the exceptional database failure recovery that InnoDB is offering, we also carry out regular backups of all databases, so we can quickly restore any MySQL database in your shared hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting by default, so as soon as you buy a new semi-dedicated account, you can move on and activate any PHP-based software application that needs this particular MySQL storage engine. Several engines are pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so when you create a brand-new database and start installing an app manually, or opt to use the Hepsia Control Panel-integrated application installer, the engine for the database will be chosen in accordance with the prerequisites of the particular app. This will permit you to activate and manage InnoDB-specific applications without the need to deal with any complication and without needing to edit any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To take no chances, we will always keep a 1-week-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you erase or change any content by mistake, we can swiftly recover it.

InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting

You can pick Hepsia on the VPS order page and your brand new VPS server will be set up within 60 minutes, so you can sign in and begin setting up your web sites straight away. When you create a brand new database and start the app activation process, our system will set the engine for that database automatically. Thus, you can manage different apps simultaneously without the need to change anything on the Virtual Private Server.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the options that you can choose on the server configuration page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it’s rather likely that you’ll run highly popular websites that will draw lots of individuals, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such Internet sites, we’ll install it along with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server.

The needed engine will be detected and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can make use of scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require the default MySQL engine, MyISAM, without coming across any impediment.
