InnoDB
Become aware of what a database engine is, what are the merits of the InnoDB engine and why it is gaining that much popularity.
InnoDB is a popular storage engine for the MySQL database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has many upsides that have made it the engine of choice for a lot of PHP-driven applications, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding immense amounts of data will be faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single row to complete a particular operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is handled. In simpler words, adding new or updating existing data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back in case a given problem occurs in the meantime, hence the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.

InnoDB in Website Hosting
You’ll be able to run any open-source script-powered web application that needs InnoDB if you’ve got a
Linux website hosting with us, as the storage engine is present on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform as standard. Throughout the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will continue flawlessly in case this engine is required. You can run apps which require the MyISAM engine without any difficulty as well and, once again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t have to configure any setting manually at any point. On top of that, we will also generate daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your shared hosting account, so in case you delete 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
All
Linux VPS hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-activated, so you will be able to use any PHP-based app that requires this particular MySQL database engine without having to set up anything manually. You can select Hepsia on the VPS order page and your brand-new server will be up and running within one hour, so you can log in and start setting up your Internet sites right away. When you create a brand-new database and start the app activation process, our system will pick the engine for this MySQL database automatically. Thus, you can install different apps at the same time without editing anything on the server. You can have a WordPress-powered online journal that uses the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento online shop that makes use of InnoDB, for instance.

InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting
All
Linux dedicated web hosting ordered with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel include a software bundle that is pre-activated and besides everything else, you’ll get the InnoDB database engine, so you won’t need to add it manually if you would like to run PHP scripts that need it. All it takes to use such a script is to create a new MySQL database and to initiate the setup – once the installer wizard obtains access to the database in question and starts dumping data in it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database as long as it is the one required by the script. You’ll also be able to activate scripts that require the other popular MySQL engine, MyISAM, so you will not have to modify any settings on the dedicated server. This will enable you to run different scripts on a single machine and to use it to its fullest capabilities.
