InnoDB is a database engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widely used PHP script-based applications such as Joomla™ 3.x and Magento. It is perfect for scalable apps, because it performs amazingly well when managing large data volumes. Rather than locking the entire table to import new information into a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can execute a lot more tasks for the same period of time. In addition, InnoDB offers an improved crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign keys – a set of rules that determine how data imports and updates should be treated. If a particular task hasn’t been fully completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the content in the database will be kept safe and sound and won’t be partially mixed with newly added content.
InnoDB in Shared Hosting
While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many other website hosting service providers, it’s part of the default set of services offered with our shared hosting packages. In case you wish to use a PHP-driven software app that requires InnoDB specifically, in order to be installed and to operate correctly, you will not encounter any impediments as the InnoDB database storage engine is available on our custom-developed cloud website hosting platform. No matter if you set up a brand new database and install an app manually or take advantage of our one-click app installer instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the particular application needs it instead of MyISAM. Besides the remarkable database crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also carry out daily database backups, so we can quickly recover any MySQL database in your shared web hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you create a new MySQL database through the Control Panel included with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you start installing a PHP script-powered software application either manually or using our one-click application installer tool, the storage engine for the MySQL database will be selected automatically on the basis of the specific app’s requirements. As InnoDB is available on the cloud platform where your new semi-dedicated hosting account will be created, it will be set as the default engine for each application that requires it without any manual intervention needed on your end at any time. To prevent any risk of losing info if you update an app or if you delete a database accidentally, we’ll make backups of all your databases each day, so if something goes wrong, we can retrieve your content.
InnoDB in VPS
If you select a virtual private server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB storage engine will be part of the standard software bundle that will be installed on your VPS server before we hand it over to you. You will not need to activate anything manually and you’ll be able to install and manage any open-source script-powered app that requires InnoDB as soon as your Virtual Private Server is ready, which takes no more than sixty minutes after the order procedure itself. A few engines are offered, so whenever you create a MySQL database through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be selected when the app activation process begins and our system will automatically detect which engine is required by the app in question. If you need to use MyISAM, for example, you won’t need to do anything different than installing the preferred app, whether manually or using our application installer.
InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the options that you can pick on the order page when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful type of website hosting, it is pretty likely that you will run highly popular Internet sites that will attract many visitors, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such websites, we will enable it together with all the other software applications that are available with a Hepsia-managed server. If you set up a new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active database storage engine until you begin installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic script installer that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The needed engine will be automatically detected and will be set for that database, so you can use scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without needing to deal with any complication.
