InnoDB is a popular database engine for the MySQL DBMS. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has many advantages that make it the engine of choice for plenty of open-source script-based web applications, such as Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched to InnoDB permanently. For example, adding huge data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single database row to complete a particular task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the data is tackled. Simply put, adding new or editing existing data will either be fully completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back in case any issue shows up during the process, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.
InnoDB in Web Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with many other web hosting providers, it is included in the default set of services that we are offering with our web hosting plans. In case you want to make use of an open-source script-based web application that needs InnoDB particularly, in order to be installed and to function properly, you will not experience any impediments as the MySQL database engine is available on our in-house developed cloud website hosting platform. No matter if you create a brand new database and install an application manually or make use of our single-click app installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the specific app requires InnoDB rather than MyISAM. Besides the amazing crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also carry out daily backups of all databases, so we can easily recover any database in your shared hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
InnoDB comes with each of our semi-dedicated servers by default, so once you buy a new semi-dedicated account, you can move on and activate any PHP-driven web application that requires the database engine. A number of engines are pre-installed on our cloud platform, so when you set up a new MySQL database and begin installing an app manually, or decide to use the Hepsia Control Panel-integrated application installer, the engine for the database will be picked in accordance with the prerequisites of the respective application. This will permit you to activate and run InnoDB-specific applications without coming across any problem and without needing to edit any settings in your account. To take no chances, we will always keep a 1-week-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you remove or change any content by accident, we can quickly rescue it.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
If you obtain a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped Virtual Private Server will permit you to run any open-source script-driven app which requires InnoDB, as this particular database engine is an essential part of the software bundle that will be pre-installed on your Virtual Private Server during its creation. When you set up a brand-new database using the Control Panel, you’ll just need to begin installing an application – manually or using our app installer. InnoDB will be set as the default engine if the application in question requires it, so you will not need to do anything else in your account. Equivalently, if an application needs MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this concrete database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the options which you can pick on the server order page when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it’s very likely that you will run popular sites that will draw plenty of individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the very best choices for such websites, we will enable it along with all the other software apps that come with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. If you set up a brand new database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any activated database engine until you begin installing an open-source script, whether manually through your browser or using the automatic scripts installation tool that is integrated into the Control Panel. The necessary engine will be detected and will be set for that database, so you can run scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without needing to deal with any impediment.
