InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity lately, as it offers a better overall performance and an improved crash recovery compared with the default engine that’s used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by a lot of devs that run scalable web applications, because it works much more efficiently with large volumes of data, while it keeps the server load low. Furthermore, it it locks only one row in the database if any information should be modified, while lots of other engines lock the entire table and hence require more time to accomplish multiple sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB observes a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for any reason, the action is rolled back to prevent scrambling or data loss. Magento and the latest releases of Joomla™ are two examples of widely used open-source script-driven web apps which have shifted over to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
Every PHP-driven web app that requires InnoDB will run impeccably on our innovative cloud website hosting platform and the storage engine is available with all our website hosting plans. Each time you create a database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database in question will use will be selected based on the app’s prerequisites without the need to update any setting in your account. InnoDB will be selected automatically for any app that requires this particular engine and you’ll be able to get the most out of its full capacity. We will perform regular content backups, so if you unintentionally delete a MySQL database that you need or you overwrite some part of it, we’ll be able to restore the database the way it was just a few hours earlier.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
InnoDB is available with each of our Linux semi-dedicated packages by default, so as soon as you obtain a new account, you can go ahead and activate any script-driven software application that requires this database storage engine. A number of engines are pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so when you create a brand-new database and start installing an application manually, or decide to make use of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be selected depending on the requirements of the given app. This will permit you to install and run InnoDB-specific applications without experiencing any obstacle and without having to change any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To be on the safe side, we will always keep a 7-day-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you delete or alter any content by mistake, we can easily rescue it.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
If you get a virtual private server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB storage engine will be part of the default software pack that will be pre-installed on your VPS server before we hand it over to you. You won’t need to activate anything manually and you’ll be able to install and manage any script-driven software app that needs InnoDB once your VPS server is set up, which takes no more than sixty minutes after the order submission procedure itself. A number of engines are offered, so whenever you set up a database using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be activated once the app activation process begins and our system will automatically detect the engine that is required by the application in question. If you need to use MyISAM, for instance, you will not need to do anything different than installing the chosen app, whether manually or using our application installer.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
All Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel come with a software bundle that is pre-installed and besides everything else, you’ll get the InnoDB database engine, so you will not need to install it manually if you want to run open-source scripts that need it. All it takes to install such a script is to create a new MySQL database and to initiate the installation – once the installation wizard obtains access to the database and starts inserting content into it, InnoDB will be set as the default MySQL engine for this database as long as it is the one required by the particular script. You will also be able to install scripts that need the other very popular MySQL engine, MyISAM, so you won’t have to configure any settings on the dedicated server. This will permit you to activate a variety of scripts on one single machine and to use the latter to its full capabilities.
