InnoDB is a database storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by widely used open-source script-powered software applications such as Magento and Joomla™ 3.x. It is excellent for scalable apps, because it works remarkably well when handling immense amounts of data. Rather than locking the whole table to import new information into a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can carry out a lot more tasks for the same period of time. Additionally, InnoDB offers a much faster crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – a set of rules that prescribe how data inserts and modifications should be handled. If a given operation hasn’t been fully completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the database content will be preserved intact and won’t be partially mixed with new content.
InnoDB in Cloud Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with many hosting service providers, it is part of the default set of features that we offer with our cloud hosting packages. In case you want to make use of a PHP-driven web application that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be activated and to work correctly, you won’t face any difficulties as the MySQL storage engine is available on our custom-developed cloud hosting platform. Regardless of whether you create a brand new database and activate an app manually or take advantage of our one-click application installer instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the respective application requires it rather than MyISAM. Besides the incredible database failure recovery offered by InnoDB, we also store regular backups of all databases, so that we can easily restore any database in your shared hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you create a brand-new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel provided with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you begin installing a PHP script-powered app either manually or using our single-click app installer, the storage engine for the MySQL database will be set automatically on the basis of the requirements of the specific application. Since InnoDB is present on the cloud hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated server account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for any app that requires it without the need for any manual action on your end at any time. To prevent any chance of losing info if you update an app or if you erase a database by accident, we will make a backup of all your MySQL databases every day, so if something happens, we can recover your data.
InnoDB in VPS
When you buy a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to take full advantage of our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to run any open-source script-based application that requires InnoDB, as this particular MySQL storage engine is part of the standard software package that will be pre-installed on your Virtual Private Server during its configuration. When you set up a brand-new MySQL database through the Control Panel, you’ll just need to begin installing an application – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine in case the app in question requires it, so you will not have to do anything else in your VPS account. Similarly, if a certain app requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this particular MySQL database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
All Linux dedicated hosting ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel include a software package that is pre-installed and besides everything else, you will get the InnoDB database engine, so you will not have to add it manually in case you wish to activate scripts that require it. All it takes to use such a script is to create a new MySQL database and to start the installation – once the script configuration wizard obtains access to the database and begins inserting data into it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database on the condition that it is the one required by the script. You will also be able to activate scripts that need the other widely used MySQL engine, MyISAM, so you won’t have to change any settings on the dedicated server. This will enable you to run different scripts on one single machine and to use the latter to its full capacity.
