InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widespread open-source script-based software applications such as Joomla™ 3 and Magento. It is perfect for scalable apps, as it works remarkably well when processing huge volumes of data. Instead of locking the whole database table to import new information into a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can perform a lot more operations for the same length of time. Also, InnoDB offers a much faster database crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign keys – a set of rules that specify how data imports and modifications should be handled. If a specific operation hasn’t been fully completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the content in the database will be kept safe and sound and will not be partially mixed with newly inserted content.
InnoDB in Cloud Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with many hosting providers, it is an integral part of the standard set of features that we are offering with our cloud hosting plans. If you’d like to use an open-source script-driven web application that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be activated and to work properly, you will not need to deal with any difficulties because the InnoDB database engine is available on our custom-developed cloud Internet hosting platform. Regardless of whether you set up a new MySQL database and install an app manually or take advantage of our one-click application installer tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the respective application requires it rather than MyISAM. In addition to the amazing database failure recovery offered by InnoDB, we also maintain regular backups of all databases, so that we can swiftly restore any database in your shared website hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can make use of a script-driven web app that needs InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server packages, as all the accounts are set up on our leading-edge cloud platform where the database storage engine is installed. A new MySQL database can be created in two separate ways – manually through the Database Manager section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, or automatically – in case you make use of our 1-click app installer tool. Either way, the required engine will be picked automatically as soon as the app’s activation begins, so you won’t have to configure anything manually, irrespective of whether the app requires InnoDB or the more regularly used MyISAM. Also, we will always be able to restore any of your databases in case you unintentionally erase one, as we generate several MySQL database backups every day, each of which is preserved for one whole week.
InnoDB in VPS Hosting
All Linux VPS hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB already installed, so you will be able to make use of any script-based app that requires this particular database storage engine without having to configure anything manually. You can choose Hepsia on the VPS configuration page and your brand new VPS server will be ready within the hour, so you can log in and start creating your sites straight away. When you create a brand-new MySQL database and begin the app activation process, our system will set the engine for that MySQL database automatically. Thus, you can run different apps simultaneously without the need to modify anything on the server. You can have a WordPress personal blog that makes use of the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento-driven online shopping portal that makes use of InnoDB, for instance.
InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the features which you can choose on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it’s pretty likely that you’ll run highly popular websites that will attract a lot of people, and since InnoDB is one of the best choices for such sites, we’ll install it along with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-managed dedicated server. When you create a brand new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated storage engine till you begin installing a PHP script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic script installer that is available in the Control Panel. The required engine will be detected and will be set for the database in question, so you can use scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without the need to cope with any problem.
