InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for the MySQL DBMS. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got a lot of upsides which have made it the engine of choice for plenty of script-driven web apps, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have switched to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding huge volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, since it locks only a single database row to accomplish a specific operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the data is treated. Put simply, adding new or modifying existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the procedure will be rolled back if a given issue shows up in the meantime, thus the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
InnoDB in Cloud Hosting
Every PHP script-driven app that requires InnoDB will function flawlessly on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and the MySQL database engine comes with all our cloud hosting packages. Whenever you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database will use will be selected in accordance with the app’s specifications without having to modify any setting in your account. InnoDB will be selected automatically for any application that requires this specific engine and you will be able to take advantage of its full potential. We’ll keep daily backups of your content, so if you accidentally delete a database that is important to you or you overwrite a certain part of it, we’ll be able to restore everything the way it was just a couple of hours earlier.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers support InnoDB and you’ll be able to make use of all the features offered by this database engine with any PHP-powered application that needs it. It is one of the engines that we have on our cloud web hosting 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, because it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an application – whether manually or using our one-click app installer tool. To be on the safe side, we’ll generate regular backups of all your MySQL databases, so if something goes wrong following some update or if you remove some data by accident, we will be able to restore the database the way it was on any of the previous 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 open-source script-driven application that requires the MySQL database engine without needing to activate anything manually. You can pick Hepsia on the VPS order page and your brand new Virtual Private Server will be ready within one hour, so you can sign in and start building your sites right away. When you create a brand-new database and begin the app activation process, our system will select the engine for that database automatically. Thus, you can run different applications at the same time without modifying anything on the server. You can create a WordPress-powered online blog that makes use of MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-based web shop that makes use of the InnoDB engine, for example.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the features that you can pick on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it is very likely that you’ll manage very popular sites that will draw many people, and since InnoDB is one of the best options for such Internet sites, we will enable it along with all the other software applications that are available with a Hepsia-managed server. When you set up a new MySQL database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active database storage engine till you begin installing an open-source script, whether manually through your Internet browser or using the automatic script installation tool that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The required engine will be recognized automatically and will be assigned to that database, so you can activate scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require the default MySQL engine, MyISAM, without experiencing any obstacle.
