InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by famous script-powered web applications like Joomla™ v3 and Magento. It’s ideal for scalable applications, because it works incredibly well when managing enormous volumes of data. Instead of locking the whole table to append new information to a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can execute much more operations for the same period of time. Additionally, InnoDB offers a much better crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that determine how data imports and updates should be handled. In case a given task hasn’t been entirely completed for some reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the content in the database will stay undamaged and will not be partially merged with newly entered content.

InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting

InnoDB is offered with all our cloud web hosting by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you’ll be able to install and manage any open-source script-powered app that requires the database storage engine without the need to deal with any problem once you open your shared web hosting account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a given MySQL database during the app activation, irrespective of whether you use our 1-click installation tool or create the database and activate the app manually, as long as the app requires InnoDB instead of the more famous MyISAM engine. We’ll carry out regular backups of all your databases, so you can rest assured that you’ll never lose any content if you erase a database by mistake or you overwrite some important information – you simply need to touch base with us and we will restore your content back to normal.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is one of the features which you can pick on the server order page when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it’s very likely that you will manage popular Internet sites that will attract many people, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such Internet sites, we will install it along with all the other software apps that are available with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server. When you create a brand-new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active MySQL database storage engine till you begin installing a script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is integrated into the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be automatically recognized and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can install scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without experiencing any impediment.
