InnoDB is a very popular database storage engine for the MySQL DBMS. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got a number of advantages that have made it the preferred engine for many PHP script-based software apps, among them Magento and Joomla, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For example, importing huge amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only one row to accomplish a specific operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is treated. Put simply, adding new or updating existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be aborted and the procedure will be rolled back if a certain issue appears during the process, thus the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
InnoDB in Shared Web Hosting
Every open-source script-driven application that requires InnoDB will function flawlessly on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform and the MySQL storage engine comes with all our shared web hosting packages. Each time you create a database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database in question will use will be selected on the basis of the app’s prerequisites without having to change any setting in your hosting account. InnoDB will be selected automatically for any app that requires this particular engine and you’ll be able to make the most of its full capacity. We will generate regular backups of your content, so in case you unintentionally delete a MySQL database that you need or you overwrite certain parts of it, we’ll be able to restore your database the way it was just several hours ago.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers support InnoDB and you can make the most of all the features of this MySQL database engine with any script-powered application that requires it. It is among the engines that are available on our cloud platform, so the one that will be selected depends on the prerequisites of the specific app. You will not 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 application installer tool. To avoid any risk, we’ll maintain regular backups of all your MySQL databases, so if something goes wrong after some update or if you remove some content by accident, we will be able to get the database back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
All VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-installed, so you will be able to make use of any script-driven application that needs the MySQL database engine without the need to install anything manually. You can choose Hepsia on the VPS order page and your new VPS server will be up and running within one hour, so you can sign in and start creating your websites straight away. Once you set up a brand-new database and begin the app installation process, our system will set the engine for that database automatically. In this way, you can run various apps simultaneously without updating anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can create a WordPress-driven online journal that uses MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-powered online shop that uses InnoDB, for example.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the features which you can pick on the server configuration page when you buy a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful type of web hosting, it’s pretty likely that you’ll run very popular websites that will attract plenty of visitors, and since InnoDB is among the best choices for such websites, we’ll enable it along with all the other software applications that are available with a Hepsia-managed server. If you create a brand new database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any active database engine till you begin installing an open-source script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic script installation tool that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The required engine will be automatically detected and will be set for the database in question, so you can make use of scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without having any problem.
