InnoDB is a popular database engine for the MySQL DBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got numerous strong sides that make it the preferred engine for many PHP-based web apps, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched to InnoDB for good. For example, importing enormous data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only one row to carry out a specific operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is treated. To put it simply, appending new or modifying existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back if a certain issue appears during the process, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
You will be able to run any open-source script-based software app that needs InnoDB in case you have a website hosting with our company, as the MySQL database engine is present on our avant-garde cloud platform by default. During the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will continue impeccably if this engine is required. You can activate applications that need the MyISAM engine without encountering any problem as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you will not need to edit anything manually at any moment. What’s more, we will also perform daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your account, so if you erase or overwrite anything, we can swiftly get it back to the way it was on any of the previous seven days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you create a new MySQL database from the hosting Control Panel coming with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you begin installing a PHP-based software app either manually or using our one-click application installer, the database storage engine will be picked automatically depending on the requirements of the specific app. As InnoDB is available 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 each app that requires it without the need for any manual action on your end at any point. To prevent any chance of losing info if you update an application or if you remove a database accidentally, we will generate backups of all your databases every day, so if anything happens, we can restore your content.
InnoDB in VPS Hosting
If you order a virtual private server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB storage engine will be an indivisible part of the standard software bundle that will be installed on your VPS server before we hand it over to you. You will not have to set up anything manually and you’ll be able to enable and run any PHP script-powered web application that requires InnoDB when your VPS server is set up, which takes no more than 1 hour after the order submission process itself. Several engines are offered, so every time you set up a database through the Hepsia Control Panel, a particular engine will be activated once the app installation starts and our system will recognize the engine that is required by the app in question. If you have to use MyISAM, for instance, you will not need to do anything different from installing the app of your preference, whether manually or using our app installer tool.
InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting
All Linux dedicated web hosting ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with a software bundle that is pre-activated and besides everything else, you’ll get the InnoDB storage engine, so you will not need to activate it manually if you need to run open-source scripts that require it. All it takes to activate such a script is to set up a new MySQL database and to begin the installation process – once the setup wizard gets access to the database and begins importing data into it, InnoDB will be set as the default MySQL engine for this database provided that it is the one needed by the particular script. You will also be able to install scripts that need MyISAM, the other widely used MySQL engine, so you won’t need to modify any settings on the dedicated server. This will enable you to run different scripts on one single server and to use it to its fullest capacity.
