InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has a lot of strengths which have made it the preferred engine for numerous PHP script-driven apps, among them Magento and Joomla™, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing large volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single row to execute a 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 way in which the info is tackled. Simply put, appending new or updating existing data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back in case a certain problem shows up in the meantime, so the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with other website hosting service providers, it is included in the standard set of features that we offer with our website hosting plans. If you wish to make use of a script-powered software application that requires InnoDB specifically, in order to be installed and to function properly, you won’t need to deal with any difficulties since the InnoDB database engine is available on our custom-developed cloud web hosting platform. No matter if you set up a new MySQL database and install an app manually or make use of our 1-click app installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the particular application requires InnoDB instead of MyISAM. In addition to the amazing database crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also make regular database backups, so that we can easily restore any MySQL database in your shared account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you set up a new MySQL database through the Control Panel provided with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you begin installing an open-source script-powered software application either manually or using our single-click app installer tool, the database storage engine will be selected automatically based on the prerequisites of the given app. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud website hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated server account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for each app that needs it without any manual intervention required on your end at any moment. To avoid any chance of losing info if you update an application or if you remove a database accidentally, we will carry out a backup of all your databases every day, so if something goes wrong, we can recover your content.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
If you get a VPS server from our company, you will be able to make use of our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to use any script-based software app which needs InnoDB, as this MySQL storage engine is included in the software package that will be installed on your Virtual Private Server during its setup. When you set up a brand-new MySQL database via the Control Panel, you’ll just need to begin installing an application – manually or using our app installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine on the condition that the application in question requires it, so you won’t need to do anything else in your VPS account. Similarly, if a certain application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
When you obtain a new dedicated server, you will be able to choose one of the 3 Control Panels that we’re offering – DirectAdmin, cPanel and Hepsia. Each dedicated server ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with InnoDB pre-installed, so you won’t have to enable this database engine manually to be able to use PHP script-driven apps that need it. InnoDB is used by scalable apps and since a dedicated server will give you all the resources that you need in order to run very large Internet sites, it’s rather likely that you’ll use InnoDB. You will be able to make use of other engines too, so in case a given app needs MyISAM instead of InnoDB, you will not need to deal with any impediment while running it. The engine that will be used will be automatically detected once the app installation procedure commences, so you won’t have to fine-tune any settings manually at any time.
