InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by popular PHP script-powered web applications such as Joomla™ 3.x and Magento. It’s perfect for scalable apps, because it excels in managing enormous data volumes. Rather than locking the entire table to add new information to a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can perform a lot more operations for the same length of time. In addition, InnoDB offers an improved database failure recovery and supports transactions and foreign keys – a set of rules that determine how data imports and modifications should be handled. If a particular task hasn’t been entirely completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the content in the database will be retained safe and sound and will not be partially mixed with newly entered content.
InnoDB in Web Hosting
You’ll be able to install any open-source script-based web application that requires InnoDB in case you have a Linux web hosting service with our company, as the database storage engine is present on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform by default. Throughout the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will proceed impeccably in case this engine is required. You can activate applications which require the MyISAM engine without any difficulty as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you will not have to modify any setting manually at any time. What’s more, we will also carry out regular backups of all the databases that you’ve got in the shared account, so in case you delete or overwrite anything, we can easily get it back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
InnoDB is available with each of our Linux semi-dedicated service by default, so as soon as you obtain a new semi-dedicated account, you can move on and activate any open-source script-powered web application that requires this database engine. Several engines are installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so when you set up a brand new MySQL database and begin installing an application manually, or opt to use the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated application installer tool, the engine for the database will be selected based on the prerequisites of the given application. This will allow you to install and manage InnoDB-specific apps without encountering any obstacle and without modifying any settings in your account. To avoid any risk, we will always have a 1-week-old backup of all your MySQL databases, so if you erase or change any content by accident, we can quickly recover it.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
In case our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel is picked during the signup process for a new VPS servers , InnoDB will be installed on the Virtual Private Server together with other essential pieces of software, so you will not need to do anything if you decide to activate PHP-driven web applications that need this MySQL storage engine. The default MySQL engine, MyISAM, will be installed as well. You can create a new MySQL database and start installing the application manually or using our single-click installer tool. The system will automatically recognize which engine the particular application needs and will assign it to the specific database, so the installation process will continue impeccably and the app can dump its data in that database. Thus, you can run applications with various prerequisites about the MySQL engine without the need to make any modifications on your server.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
InnoDB is included as standard with all Linux dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It is an essential part of the default software bundle that will be installed on all Hepsia-equipped servers, so as soon as your physical machine is up and running, you’ll be able to sign in and to activate a various script-powered web application that requires this MySQL database engine. If you create a new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine till you begin installing an app. As soon as the app activation wizard starts importing information into the newly created database, the engine will be set automatically depending on the prerequisites of the given application, so you can run both MyISAM and InnoDB without the need to select either of them explicitly at any point. Thus, you can make use of a large selection of apps for your Internet sites.
