InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for the MySQL database management system. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has a lot of strengths that have made it the engine of choice for many PHP-driven apps, among them Magento and Joomla™, which have moved to InnoDB for good. For instance, importing immense volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, as it locks only a single database row to accomplish an operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the data is treated. Simply put, importing new or updating existing data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back if some problem appears in the meantime, thus the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Cloud Hosting

You can use any PHP script-based web application that needs InnoDB if you’ve got a Linux cloud package with us, as the MySQL database storage engine is present on our avant-garde cloud 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 activate apps which need the MyISAM engine without having any difficulty as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t need to modify any setting manually at any time. Furthermore, we will also make daily backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in your account, so if you erase or overwrite something, we can quickly get it back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in VPS Hosting

When you purchase a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to make use of our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to install any script-powered application that requires InnoDB, as this particular database engine is part of the default software package that will be installed on your Virtual Private Server during its setup. When you create a new MySQL database through the Control Panel, you simply have to begin installing an app – manually or using our app installer. InnoDB will be set as the default engine on the condition that the app in question needs it, so you won’t need to do anything else in your VPS account. Similarly, if an application needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific database.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting

InnoDB is available as standard with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. It’s included in the default software package that will be installed on all Hepsia-equipped dedicated servers, so as soon as your machine is ready, you’ll be able to sign in and to install any script-powered application that needs this MySQL storage engine. If you set up a new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine until you begin installing an app. As soon as the app activation wizard starts dumping content in the database, the engine will be set automatically based on the specific app’s requirements, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without the need to select either one explicitly at any point. Thus, you can use an immense variety of applications for your Internet sites.
