InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity lately, because it offers a better overall performance and an improved database failure recovery compared with the default engine that is used by the MySQL RDBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by numerous devs that run highly scalable apps, because it works much better with enormous data volumes, while it keeps the server load low. Additionally, it locks only a single database row in case any information should be updated, while many other engines lock the entire database table and thus require more time to complete multiple successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB follows the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the entire data modification cannot be completed for any reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ versions are two examples of widespread open-source script-driven web apps which have switched to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with other web hosting companies, it’s part of the default set of services that we’re offering with our cloud web hosting packages. In case you wish to use a PHP script-based software app that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be installed and to operate correctly, you won’t need to deal with any difficulties since the InnoDB storage engine is available on our custom cloud web hosting platform. No matter if you set up a brand-new database and install an application manually or use our one-click app installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the specific application needs it rather than MyISAM. Besides the remarkable crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also make regular database backups, so that we can quickly restore any database in your shared hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated hosting packages include InnoDB and you can take full advantage of all the options offered by this MySQL storage engine with any open-source script-based app that requires it. It’s among the engines that we have on our cloud web hosting platform, so the one that will be picked depends on the requirements of the application in question. You will not need to do anything manually in order to enable InnoDB, because it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an app – whether manually or using our 1-click app installer. To avoid any risk, we’ll perform regular backups of all your databases, so if something goes wrong after some update or if you erase some content by mistake, we’ll be able to restore the database the way it was on any of the past 7 days.
InnoDB in VPS Hosting
All VPS hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB already activated, so you will be able to use any PHP-powered application that needs the database engine without needing to set up anything manually. You can select Hepsia on the VPS configuration page and your new VPS server will be ready within 60 minutes, so you can log in and start setting up your web sites right away. Once you set up a brand new database and start the app installation process, our system will pick the engine for this MySQL database automatically. Thus, you can install different applications simultaneously without editing anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can have a WordPress-driven personal weblog that makes use of the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, and a Magento e-commerce portal that uses InnoDB, for instance.
InnoDB in Dedicated Web Hosting
Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the options that you can choose on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it’s very likely that you will run popular sites that will draw many individuals, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such websites, we’ll activate it together with all the other software apps that are offered with a Hepsia-managed server. If you create a new MySQL database in your account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database storage engine till you start installing an open-source script, whether manually via your Internet browser or using the automatic scripts installer tool that is available in the Control Panel. The required engine will be automatically detected and will be assigned to that database, so you can make use of scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without experiencing any obstacle.
