InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining in popularity lately, as it offers a significantly better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery in comparison to the default engine that’s used by the MySQL DBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by lots of developers that run scalable web applications, since it works much more efficiently with huge volumes of data, while it keeps the server load low. Also, it it locks only one row in the database if any info should be modified, while many other engines lock the entire table and therefore need much more time to accomplish several consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB complies with a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification procedure cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the operation is rolled back to avoid scrambling or losing data. Magento and the latest Joomla™ versions are two instances of famous open-source script-driven software apps which have switched over to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with many hosting companies, it is an essential part of the default set of services that we offer with our website hosting packages. In case you want to make use of a PHP-driven web application that requires InnoDB particularly, in order to be installed and to perform correctly, you will not encounter any problems since the MySQL database storage engine is available on our custom cloud website hosting platform. Irrespective of whether you set up a brand-new MySQL database and install an app manually or take advantage of our one-click application installer software tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the particular application needs it rather than MyISAM. In addition to the incredible crash recovery that InnoDB offers, we also maintain regular database backups, so that we can quickly recover any database in your shared web hosting account.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you create a brand new MySQL database from the Control Panel coming with each of our semi-dedicated server accounts and you begin installing a script-powered application either manually or using our one-click application installer, the MySQL database storage engine will be picked automatically depending on the specific app’s requirements. As InnoDB is present on the cloud platform where your new account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for each application that requires it without any manual action required on your end at any point. To prevent any risk of losing data if you update an app or if you remove a database by mistake, we’ll carry out backups of all your MySQL databases each day, so if anything happens, we can restore your data.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
When you buy a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to take full advantage of our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to run any PHP script-based software application that needs InnoDB, as this MySQL storage engine is an integral part of the default software bundle that will be installed on the VPS server during its creation. When you set up a new database via the Control Panel, you’ll simply need to begin installing an app – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine if the app in question requires it, so you won’t need to do anything else in your VPS account. Equivalently, if a given application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this concrete database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
If you purchase a new dedicated server, you will be able to choose one of the three hosting Control Panels that we offer – DirectAdmin, Hepsia and cPanel. Each server ordered with Hepsia comes with InnoDB pre-installed, so you will not have to activate this database engine manually to be able to use PHP script-driven web applications that require it. InnoDB is used for scalable applications and since a dedicated server will offer you all the system resources that you need in order to run large-scale Internet sites, it’s rather likely that you will use InnoDB. You’ll be able to use other engines as well, so in case a certain application needs MyISAM instead of InnoDB, you won’t experience any difficulty while running it. The engine that will be used will be automatically detected as soon as the app installation commences, so you will not have to tweak any settings manually at any moment.
