InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for the MySQL RDBMS. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has plenty of strengths which have made it the preferred engine for many PHP script-based software applications, such as Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB for good. For example, adding enormous amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single database row to carry out a given operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is tackled. Simply put, importing new or modifying existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back if some issue appears in the meantime, so the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.
InnoDB in Web Hosting
While InnoDB is either a paid upgrade or it is not available at all with other hosting providers, it is included in the default set of features offered with our web hosting packages. In case you wish to make use of a PHP-powered web application that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be installed and to function correctly, you will not encounter any impediments as the InnoDB storage engine is available on our in-house built cloud website hosting platform. Irrespective of whether you create a new database and activate an application manually or make use of our one-click app installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the particular application needs InnoDB instead of MyISAM. In addition to the excellent crash recovery that InnoDB offers, we also maintain regular database backups, so that we can easily restore any database in your shared website hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with InnoDB and you can use all the options offered by this MySQL database storage engine with any PHP-based web application that requires it. It’s one of the engines that are available on our cloud web hosting platform, so the one that will be picked depends on the requirements of the particular application. You won’t have to do anything manually in order to enable InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine when you install an application – whether manually or using our one-click application installer. To avoid any risk, we will perform regular backups of all your MySQL databases, so if anything goes wrong after some update or if you erase some data accidentally, we will be able to get your database back to the way it was on any of the previous seven days.
InnoDB in VPS Hosting
If you obtain a virtual private server from us, you will be able to take advantage of our custom Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped Virtual Private Server will allow you to activate any PHP script-driven application which needs InnoDB, as this particular storage engine is part of the default software package that will be installed on your VPS server during its configuration. When you create a new MySQL database via the Control Panel, you will just need to begin installing an application – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine given that the application in question requires it, so you will not need to do anything else in your VPS account. Likewise, if a certain app requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this particular database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting
InnoDB comes by default with all Linux dedicated web hosting ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It is an essential part of the software package that will be installed on all Hepsia-managed dedicated servers, so as soon as your physical machine is ready, you’ll be able to sign in and to activate any script-based software app that requires this MySQL database storage engine. If you create a new MySQL database through the Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine until you begin installing an application. As soon as the app activation wizard begins inserting data into the database, the engine will be selected automatically based on the prerequisites of the particular app, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without the need to select either one of them explicitly at any point. Thus, you can use a huge selection of applications for your sites.
