InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL RDBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got lots of strong sides that have made it the engine of choice for lots of open-source script-based applications, among them Magento and Joomla™, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding enormous amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single database row to carry out a given task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the data is tackled. In simpler words, appending new or updating existent data will either be entirely completed, or will be aborted and the operation will be rolled back if any problem occurs during the process, hence the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
InnoDB in Shared Hosting
You can make use of any PHP script-based application that needs InnoDB in case you have a Linux shared hosting with our company, as the storage engine is available on our advanced cloud hosting platform as standard. Throughout the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will proceed flawlessly in case this engine is required. You can run applications which use the MyISAM engine without the need to deal with any difficulty as well and, again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you won’t need to configure anything manually at any time. On top of that, we’ll also make daily backups of all the databases that you’ve got in your shared hosting account, so in case you erase or overwrite something, we can quickly get it back to the way it was on any of the past 7 days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can run a PHP script-powered web app that requires InnoDB with all of our semi-dedicated server plans, due to the fact that all the accounts are created on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform where the database storage engine is installed. A new MySQL database can be set up in two ways – manually from the Database Manager section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, or automatically – in case you use our one-click app installer tool. Either way, the required engine will be chosen automatically as soon as the activation of the app starts, so you won’t need to modify anything manually, irrespective of whether the application needs InnoDB or the more frequently used MyISAM. Furthermore, we’ll always be able to recover any of your databases in case you accidentally delete one, as we perform a few database backups every day, each of which is saved for 1 week.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
If you get a VPS server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB storage engine will be an integral part of the standard software package that will be pre-installed on your server before we hand it over to you. You won’t have to configure anything manually and you’ll be able to enable and manage any open-source script-based software application that requires InnoDB once your VPS is set up, which takes no more than sixty minutes after the order submission procedure itself. A few engines are available, so whenever you create a database using the Hepsia Control Panel, a particular engine will be picked when the app installation starts and our system will detect which engine is required by the application in question. If you need MyISAM, for instance, you won’t have to do anything different than installing the preferred app, whether manually or using our app installer tool.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the features that you can pick on the server configuration page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it is quite likely that you’ll run popular Internet sites that will attract a lot of individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the best options for such Internet sites, we will enable it along with all the other software apps that come with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. If you set up a brand new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database storage engine until you start installing an open-source PHP script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic script installation tool that is available in the Control Panel. The required engine will be detected automatically and will be set for that database, so you can make use of scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without the need to deal with any impediment.
