InnoDB is a popular database engine for MySQL. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has a lot of pluses which make it the preferred engine for lots of open-source script-based software apps, such as Joomla and Magento, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For instance, importing immense amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, since it locks only one row to execute a certain operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is treated. In simpler words, importing new or updating existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back if any issue appears in the meantime, which is why the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers

InnoDB is offered with all our Linux semi-dedicated servers by default, so as soon as you create a new account, you can go ahead and activate any script-powered software app that requires this database storage engine. Several engines are installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so when you create a new database and begin installing an app manually, or decide to use the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be selected based on the prerequisites of the particular app. This will allow you to activate and manage InnoDB-specific applications without having to deal with any problem and without the need to configure any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To take no chances, we’ll always have a seven-day-old backup of all your databases, so if you erase or edit any content by mistake, we can quickly recover it.

InnoDB in VPS Servers

If you choose a VPS server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB storage engine will be part of the software package that will be pre-installed on your Virtual Private Server before we give it to you. You won’t need to activate anything manually and you’ll be able to enable and run any PHP script-powered software application that needs InnoDB when your Virtual Private Server is set up, which takes no more than one hour after the order submission itself. A couple of engines are available, so anytime you create a database via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be selected once the app installation process starts and our system will automatically recognize the engine that is required by the app in question. If you have to use MyISAM, for example, you will not have to do anything different than installing the application of your preference, whether manually or using our app installer.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the options that you can select on the server order page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful type of website hosting, it’s quite likely that you will run highly popular Internet sites that will draw many individuals, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such sites, we’ll activate it along with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. When you create a brand new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated database storage engine until you begin installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually through your Internet browser or using the automatic scripts installer tool that is integrated into the Control Panel. The required engine will be recognized and will be assigned to that database, so you can install scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require the default MySQL engine, MyISAM, without any difficulties.
