InnoDB is a database engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widespread PHP script-driven software apps such as Joomla™ v3 and Magento. It’s excellent for scalable apps, as it performs really well when processing large data volumes. Rather than locking the whole table to insert new information in a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can carry out much more tasks for the same length of time. Also, InnoDB offers a faster crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign keys – rules that define how data inserts and modifications should be handled. If a given operation has not been thoroughly completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the database content will remain intact and will not be partially merged with newly entered content.
InnoDB in Shared Web Hosting
While InnoDB is either a paid upgrade or it is not available at all with many hosting service providers, it’s included in the default set of features that we’re offering with our shared web hosting plans. If you would like to make use of an open-source script-powered software application that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be installed and to operate correctly, you will not need to deal with any problems since the MySQL storage engine is available on our in-house developed cloud website hosting platform. Regardless of whether you create a brand new MySQL database and install an application manually or take advantage of our 1-click application installer software tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the respective app requires it rather than MyISAM. In addition to the outstanding crash recovery that InnoDB is offering, we also generate daily backups of all databases, so that we can swiftly recover any MySQL database in your shared website hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
InnoDB is offered with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service by default, so the moment you create a new semi-dedicated account, you can move on and activate any script-based software application that needs the MySQL database storage engine. A few engines are installed on our cloud platform, so when you set up a brand new MySQL database and start installing an app manually, or opt to use the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated application installer tool, the engine for the database will be selected on the basis of the prerequisites of the given app. This will permit you to activate and run InnoDB-specific applications without any obstacle and without editing any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To take no chances, we will always have a seven-day-old backup of all your databases, so if you remove or edit any content accidentally, we can quickly retrieve it.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
All VPS service that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB already activated, so you will be able to make use of any PHP-driven software app that requires this MySQL storage engine without having to activate anything manually. You can pick Hepsia on the VPS order form and your brand new VPS server will be ready within 1 hour, so you can sign in and start creating your sites right away. Once you create a brand new MySQL database and begin the app installation process, our system will select the engine for that database automatically. In this way, you can use various applications at the same time without having to modify anything on the VPS server. You can create a WordPress-powered weblog that makes use of MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-powered online shop that uses the InnoDB engine, for instance.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
When you acquire a new dedicated server, you’ll be able to pick one of the three Control Panels that we are offering – Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Each dedicated server ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel comes with InnoDB pre-activated, so you will not have to enable this database engine manually in order to be able to run script-based software applications that need it. InnoDB is used by scalable apps and since a dedicated server will supply you with all the system resources that you require in order to manage large-scale Internet sites, it’s quite possible that you’ll resort to InnoDB. You will be able to use other engines too, so in case a particular application needs MyISAM rather than InnoDB, you will not have any complication while using it. The engine that will be used will be detected automatically when the app installation process starts, so you will not have to fine-tune any setting manually at any point.
