InnoDB is a database engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by widespread open-source script-driven software apps such as Magento and Joomla™ 3. It’s perfect for scalable apps, as it works incredibly well when processing enormous volumes of data. Rather than locking the whole database table to import new information into a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can complete a lot more operations for the same period of time. Plus, InnoDB offers a much faster crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that determine how data imports and updates should be treated. If a certain operation has not been thoroughly completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the database content will be kept undamaged and will not be partially merged with newly added content.
InnoDB in Web Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with many other website hosting service providers, it is part of the standard set of services that we’re offering with our web hosting plans. In case you wish to make use of a PHP-based software application that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to work correctly, you will not experience any difficulties because the MySQL storage engine is available on our in-house built cloud platform. Irrespective of whether you create a new MySQL database and activate an application manually or take advantage of our one-click app installer software tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the given app requires it rather than MyISAM. In addition to the amazing database crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also store daily database backups, so that we can easily restore any MySQL database in your shared website hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers include InnoDB and you will be able to make use of all the features of this database storage engine with any open-source script-based web app that requires it. It is among the engines that we have on our cloud website hosting platform, so the one that will be picked depends on the requirements of the given application. You won’t have to do anything manually in order to activate InnoDB, as it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an application – whether manually or using our one-click app installer. To be on the safe side, we’ll store regular MySQL database backups, so if something goes wrong after an update or if you erase some content unintentionally, we will be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the past 7 days.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
All VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-activated, so you’ll be able to make use of any PHP script-powered application that needs the storage engine without having to configure anything manually. You can select Hepsia on the VPS order form and your brand-new Virtual Private Server will be ready within 60 minutes, so you can log in and begin building your web sites right away. When you create a brand new MySQL database and start the app activation process, our system will select the engine for that database automatically. Thus, you can activate different applications simultaneously without having to change anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can create a WordPress-powered personal blog that uses the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento web shop that makes use of the InnoDB engine, for example.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
Our Hepsia Control Panel is one of the features which you can select on the server order page when you purchase a dedicated server from us. As this is the most powerful kind of web hosting, it is pretty likely that you will run very popular Internet sites that will attract a lot of people, and since InnoDB is among the very best options for such websites, we’ll install it together with all the other software apps that are available with a Hepsia-managed server. When you create a brand new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active MySQL database storage engine until you begin installing a script, whether manually through your web browser or using the automatic script installer that is integrated into the Control Panel. The required engine will be automatically detected and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can make use of scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without needing to deal with any impediment.
