InnoDB is a popular database engine for the MySQL DBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has many upsides that make it the preferred engine for numerous PHP-powered apps, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding large data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, since it locks only a single row to accomplish a specific task, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the information is treated. Put simply, appending new or modifying existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back if any issue appears in the meantime, hence the content that remains in the database will not be lost.
InnoDB in Hosting
InnoDB is offered with all our Linux hosting packages by default, not upon request or as a paid upgrade, so you’ll be able to install and manage any PHP-powered app which needs the MySQL database engine without having any problem as soon as you order your shared hosting account. InnoDB will be pre-selected as the default engine for a certain MySQL database during the app activation, regardless of whether you take advantage of our single-click installation tool or create the database and activate the application manually, on the condition that the app requires it instead of the more popular MyISAM engine. We’ll carry out daily MySQL database backups, so you can be sure that you’ll never lose any data in case you erase a database by accident or you overwrite some key info – you will simply need to inform us and we’ll restore your data the way it was.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages support InnoDB and you’ll be able to take full advantage of all the features of this MySQL storage engine with any open-source script-driven software app that needs it. It’s one of the engines that we have on our cloud platform, so the one that will be used depends on the prerequisites of the application in question. You won’t need to do anything manually in order to enable InnoDB, since it will be set as the default engine when you install an application – whether manually or using our one-click application installer tool. To be on the safe side, we will carry out regular database backups, so if something goes wrong after some update or if you delete some content unintentionally, we will be able to restore your database the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
If you choose a virtual private server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB database engine will be an essential part of the software package that will be pre-installed on your Virtual Private Server before we give it to you. You won’t need to configure anything manually and you will be able to install and manage any script-powered software app that requires InnoDB when your VPS is up and running, which takes no more than 1 hour after the order submission process itself. Several engines are offered, so every time you set up a MySQL database using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a particular engine will be selected when the app activation begins and our system will recognize the engine that is required by the application in question. In case you need MyISAM, for instance, you will not need to do anything different from installing the preferred application, whether manually or using our app installer.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the options that you can pick on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it’s pretty likely that you will manage highly popular sites that will attract lots of individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the best choices for such websites, we will install it together with all the other software applications that are offered with a Hepsia-managed server. When you create a brand new database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated database storage engine until you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually through your Internet browser or using the automatic scripts installer that is included in the Control Panel. The required engine will be detected and will be assigned to the database in question, so you can activate scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without having any obstacle.
