InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it offers a much better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery in comparison with the default engine that is used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by plenty of web developers that build scalable web applications, as it works better with large amounts of data, while it keeps the server processing load low. Additionally, it locks only one database row in case anything should be modified, while lots of other engines lock the entire database table and hence require much more time to complete multiple sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB complies with the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for some reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the latest Joomla™ editions are two instances of famous PHP-based software apps which have switched over to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Hosting
You’ll be able to run any script-based app that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a Linux hosting with our company, as the MySQL database engine is available on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform as standard. Throughout the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will proceed impeccably if this engine is required. You can run apps that use the MyISAM engine without any problems as well and, once again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you will not need to edit any setting manually at any point. What’s more, we’ll also generate regular backups of all the MySQL databases that you have in the shared hosting account, so in case you delete or overwrite anything, we can easily restore it the way it was on any of the previous seven days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
InnoDB is included with all our semi-dedicated hosting services by default, so once you get a new semi-dedicated account, you can go ahead and activate any open-source script-based software application that needs the database storage engine. Several engines are installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so when you set up a new MySQL database and start installing an application manually, or decide to use the Hepsia Control Panel-integrated application installer, the engine for the database will be selected on the basis of the requirements of the particular app. This will allow you to activate and manage InnoDB-specific apps without coming across any problem and without having to configure any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To take no chances, we will always keep a one-week-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you remove or alter any content by accident, we can quickly recover it.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
If you order a virtual private server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB storage engine will be part of the software package that will be installed on your server before we give it to you. You won’t need to set up anything manually and you’ll be able to enable and use any PHP script-driven web app that requires InnoDB once your Virtual Private Server is set up, which takes no more than 1 hour after the order procedure itself. A couple of engines are available, so anytime you create a MySQL database using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be activated once the app activation starts and our system will recognize the engine that is required by the application in question. If you need to use MyISAM, for example, you won’t have to do anything different than installing the desired application, whether manually or using our app installer tool.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you purchase a new dedicated server, you’ll be able to select any of the 3 Control Panels that we’re offering – Hepsia and cPanel. Each server ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with InnoDB pre-installed, so you will not need to activate this storage engine manually to be able to run open-source script-based apps that need it. InnoDB is used by scalable apps and since a dedicated server will give you all the server resources that you require in order to run very large websites, it is rather likely that you will use InnoDB. You’ll be able to make use of other engines too, so if a specific app requires MyISAM rather than InnoDB, you won’t have any obstacle while using it. The engine that will be used will be recognized automatically once the app installation process commences, so you will not have to fine-tune any settings manually at any time.
