InnoDB is a database storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widespread script-powered applications like Joomla™ 3.x and Magento. It is ideal for scalable apps, as it performs incredibly well when handling large volumes of data. Instead of locking the whole table to insert new information in a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can handle a lot more operations for the same length of time. Besides, InnoDB offers a faster database crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign keys – rules that determine how data imports and modifications should be treated. In case a specific operation has not been entirely completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the database content will remain undamaged and will not be partially merged with newly imported content.

InnoDB in Hosting

While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many other hosting providers, it is part of the standard set of services that we are offering with our hosting packages. In case you wish to use an open-source script-driven app that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to function correctly, you won’t face any impediments as the storage engine is available on our custom cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of whether you create a new database and install 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 specific app needs it instead of MyISAM. Besides the outstanding database failure recovery that InnoDB offers, we also maintain regular backups of all databases, so we can swiftly restore any database in your shared website hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages include InnoDB and you can make the most of all the features offered by this database storage engine with any PHP script-driven app that needs it. InnoDB is among the engines that we have on our cloud web hosting platform, so the one that will be used depends on the requirements of the specific application. You won’t need to do anything manually to enable InnoDB, as it will be set as the default engine when you install an app – whether manually or using our one-click app installer. To be on the safe side, we’ll make regular database backups, so if anything goes wrong after an upgrade or if you remove some data by mistake, we will be able to get the database back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.

InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting

Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the features that you can pick on the order form when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it’s rather likely that you’ll manage popular sites that will attract many individuals, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such Internet sites, we will install it together with all the other software apps that are offered with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. If you set up a new database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any active database storage engine till you start installing an open-source script, whether manually through your web browser or using the automatic scripts installer tool that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be detected and will be set for that database, so you can use scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without the need to deal with any impediment.
