InnoDB is a very popular database storage engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got plenty of upsides that make it the preferred engine for lots of script-based applications, such as Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing large data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single database row to complete a particular task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the information is treated. To put it simply, appending new or modifying existing data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back in case any issue occurs in the meantime, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
InnoDB in Shared Web Hosting
Every script-based app that requires InnoDB will function impeccably on our innovative cloud web hosting platform and the MySQL storage engine is available with all our shared web hosting plans. Every time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer tool 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 requirements without the need to change any setting in your hosting account. InnoDB will be picked automatically for any app that requires this specific engine and you will be able to take advantage of its full potential. We will maintain regular content backups, so if you accidentally remove a MySQL database that is important to you or you overwrite a certain part of it, we will be able to restore everything the way it was only a couple of hours ago.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting services include InnoDB and you’ll be able to make use of all the features offered by this MySQL database storage engine with any open-source script-based application that requires it. It is one of the engines that are available on our cloud platform, so the one that will be selected depends on the prerequisites of the app in question. You will not have to do anything manually to enable InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine when you install an application – whether manually or using our 1-click app installer tool. To avoid any risk, we will store daily MySQL database backups, so if anything goes wrong following some update or if you erase some content by mistake, we will be able to restore your database the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
If you purchase a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to take full advantage of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-equipped Virtual Private Server will permit you to run any open-source script-driven software app that needs InnoDB, as this storage engine is part of the software bundle that will be installed on your server during its setup. When you set up a brand-new database using the Control Panel, you’ll just have to begin installing an app – manually or using our app installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine if the app in question requires it, so you will not have 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 specific database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
InnoDB comes by default with all Linux dedicated hosting services ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It’s included in the software package that we install on all Hepsia-equipped dedicated servers, so once your machine is up and running, you’ll be able to sign in and to install a various PHP-driven web app that needs this MySQL database engine. When you set up a new database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine until you begin installing an application. As soon as the app configuration wizard starts entering information into the database, the engine will be selected automatically on the basis of the prerequisites of the given app, so you can use both InnoDB and MyISAM without selecting either of them explicitly at any point. In this way, you can make use of an extensive collection of apps for your websites.
