InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, because it offers a significantly better overall performance and an improved database crash recovery compared with the default engine used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by plenty of web developers that create scalable web apps, due to the fact that it works more efficiently with huge data volumes, while it keeps the server load low. What’s more, it it locks only one row in the database if any info should be updated, while lots of other engines lock the entire table and hence need more time to process multiple consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB abides by the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the entire data modification procedure cannot be completed for some reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent scrambling or data loss. Magento and the latest releases of Joomla™ are two examples of widely used script-powered web apps that have switched to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Shared Website Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with other web hosts, it’s included in the standard set of features that we are offering with our shared website hosting packages. If you wish to use an open-source script-driven application that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to operate properly, you will not have any problems since the InnoDB storage engine is available on our custom-built cloud hosting platform. Regardless of whether you create a new database and install an app manually or use our single-click app installer tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the particular application needs InnoDB rather than MyISAM. In addition to the amazing crash recovery offered by InnoDB, we also store regular backups of all databases, so that we can quickly restore any database in your shared account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated packages support InnoDB and you’ll be able to get the most out of all the options offered by this storage engine with any open-source script-based software application that needs it. InnoDB is among the engines that are available on our cloud platform, so the one that will be used depends on the requirements of the specific application. You won’t have to do anything manually to activate InnoDB, as it will be set as the default engine whenever you install an application – whether manually or using our 1-click application installer. To be on the safe side, we’ll keep daily MySQL database backups, so if anything goes wrong following an update or if you remove some data accidentally, we will be able to restore the database the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
All Linux VPS web hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel come with InnoDB pre-activated, so you’ll be able to run any script-driven application that requires the MySQL storage engine without having to set up anything manually. You can pick Hepsia on the VPS configuration page and your new server will be set up within one hour, so you can sign in and begin creating your sites straight away. Once you set up a brand new MySQL database and start the app installation process, our system will select the engine for that database automatically. Thus, you can run different applications at the same time without having to modify anything on the Virtual Private Server. You can have a WordPress-powered personal journal that uses MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, and a Magento-based Internet shop that makes use of InnoDB, for example.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
InnoDB comes by default with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It’s an essential part of the software package that will be installed on all Hepsia-managed dedicated servers, so as soon as your physical machine is assembled, you will be able to sign in and to activate a various script-driven web app that requires this MySQL database storage engine. If you set up a new MySQL database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine till you begin installing an application. Once the app activation wizard begins entering information into the newly created database, the engine will be picked automatically based on the requirements of the respective app, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without selecting either of them specifically at any time. Therefore, you can use an extensive variety of applications for your websites.
