InnoDB is a popular database storage engine for MySQL. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has a number of strong sides which make it the preferred engine for plenty of open-source script-powered web applications, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing immense data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, as it locks only one row to execute 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 info is tackled. Put simply, appending new or modifying existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back if a given problem shows up during the process, so the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
InnoDB in Cloud Hosting
While InnoDB is either not available or a paid upgrade with many other website hosting service providers, it’s included in the standard set of features that we are offering with our cloud hosting plans. In case you’d like to make use of a PHP-powered app that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to function properly, you won’t have any obstacles since the database storage engine is available on our custom-developed cloud hosting platform. Regardless of whether you set up a brand new MySQL database and install an application manually or make use of our 1-click app installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the respective application requires InnoDB instead of MyISAM. In addition to the amazing database failure recovery that InnoDB offers, we also make regular backups of all databases, so that we can easily restore any MySQL database in your shared web hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages include InnoDB and you’ll be able to make use of all the features of this database engine with any open-source script-based software application that needs it. It is among the engines that we have on our cloud hosting platform, so the one that will be selected depends on the prerequisites of the app in question. You won’t need to do anything manually to enable InnoDB, since it will be set as the default engine when you install an app – whether manually or using our 1-click application installer tool. To avoid any risk, we’ll store daily MySQL database backups, so if something goes wrong following an update or if you delete some content accidentally, we’ll be able to restore your database the way it was on any of the previous seven days.
InnoDB in VPS
If you select a virtual private server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB database engine will be an integral part of the default software bundle that will be installed on your server before we give it to you. You won’t need to configure anything manually and you’ll be able to install and manage any PHP script-driven software application that requires InnoDB as soon as your VPS server is ready, which takes no more than 60 minutes after the order procedure itself. A few engines are offered, so every time you set up a MySQL database via the Hepsia Control Panel, a particular engine will be picked when the app activation process starts and our system will automatically detect which engine is required by the app in question. If you have to use MyISAM, for example, you won’t have to do anything different from installing the desired application, whether manually or using our app installer tool.
InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
All Linux dedicated hosting that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel come with a software package that is pre-activated and among everything else, you will get the InnoDB storage engine, so you won’t have to install it manually in case you wish to activate open-source PHP scripts that require it. All it takes to activate such a script is to set up a new database and to start the installation – as soon as the script installation wizard gains access to the database and begins dumping content in it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database as long as it is the one required by the particular script. You’ll also be able to run scripts that require MyISAM, the other very popular MySQL engine, so you won’t have to configure any settings on the server. This will enable you to install a variety of scripts on one single physical server and to use the latter to its maximum capabilities.
