InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for MySQL. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got many strengths which have made it the engine of choice for a lot of open-source script-driven apps, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding immense data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single row to execute a task, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is tackled. Put simply, appending new or modifying existent data will either be fully completed, or will be annulled and the procedure will be rolled back in case any problem appears in the meantime, hence the content that remains in the database will not be lost.
InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting
While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many other web hosts, it’s an integral part of the default set of features offered with our cloud web hosting plans. In case you would like to make use of a script-based web app that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to function correctly, you won’t have any problems since the InnoDB database engine is available on our custom-developed cloud website hosting platform. Irrespective of whether you create a brand new MySQL database and install an app manually or make use of our one-click application installer instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the particular app needs it rather than MyISAM. Besides the amazing database failure recovery offered by InnoDB, we also store daily database backups, so we can easily restore any MySQL database in your shared hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can run a script-based web application that needs InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server packages, because all the accounts are created on our advanced cloud hosting platform where the database engine is installed. A new database can be created in two different ways – manually from the Database Manager section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, or automatically – in case you make use of our 1-click application installer. Either way, the required engine will be chosen automatically the moment the app’s activation begins, so you won’t need to change anything manually, no matter if the application requires InnoDB or the more frequently used MyISAM. Also, we’ll always be able to recover any of your MySQL databases in case you remove one by mistake, as we make a few database backups every day, each of which is kept for seven days.
InnoDB in VPS
If you buy a virtual private server from us, you will be able to make use of our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will allow you to run any open-source script-based app which needs InnoDB, as this particular MySQL storage engine is an essential part of the standard software package that will be pre-installed on your Virtual Private Server during its creation. When you create a brand new database using the Control Panel, you will just need to begin installing an app – manually or using our app installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine in case the application in question needs it, so you won’t need to do anything else in your VPS account. Likewise, if a given app needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this particular database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the options which you can select on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful type of hosting, it is very likely that you will manage popular sites that will attract many individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such sites, we will enable it along with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-managed server. When you set up a brand-new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database engine until you begin installing an open-source script, whether manually through your browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is included in the Control Panel. The required engine will be detected and will be set for that database, so you can make use of scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without the need to cope with any difficulty.
