InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has a lot of advantages which make it the preferred engine for plenty of PHP script-powered software applications, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing huge data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, since it locks only one row to execute a given operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is treated. Simply put, importing new or updating existent data will either be entirely completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back in case a certain issue appears during the process, thus the content that remains in the database will not be lost.
InnoDB in Shared Website Hosting
You can install any PHP script-driven software app that requires InnoDB if you have a Linux shared website hosting with our company, as the database engine is available on our cutting-edge cloud platform as standard. During the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will proceed impeccably in case this engine is needed. You can run apps which need the MyISAM engine without the need to deal with any complication as well and, once again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you will not have to modify any setting manually at any time. What’s more, we’ll also make daily backups of all the MySQL databases that you’ve got in your shared account, so if you delete or overwrite anything, we can swiftly get it back to the way it was on any of the past seven days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
InnoDB is offered with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting by default, so once you get a new account, you can go ahead and install any PHP-powered application that needs this MySQL storage engine. A couple of engines are pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so when you set up a brand-new database and begin installing an application manually, or decide to make use of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel-integrated app installer, the engine for the database will be selected depending on the prerequisites of the specific app. This will allow you to install and run InnoDB-specific apps without needing to cope with any complication and without the need to edit any settings in your semi-dedicated account. To be on the safe side, we’ll always have a 7-day-old backup of all your databases, so if you remove or change any content accidentally, we can easily restore it.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
If you pick a virtual private server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB database engine will be part of the software bundle that will be pre-installed on your server before we hand it over to you. You will not need to configure anything manually and you’ll be able to install and manage any open-source script-driven web app that needs InnoDB when your VPS is up and running, which takes no more than 60 minutes after the order submission itself. A couple of engines are available, so every time you set up a database through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be activated once the app activation commences and our system will detect which engine is required by the app in question. If you need to use MyISAM, for example, you won’t have to do anything different than installing the chosen app, whether manually or using our application installer tool.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Our Hepsia Control Panel is one of the features that you can pick on the server order page when you buy a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful type of website hosting, it’s very likely that you will manage very popular sites that will attract plenty of visitors, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such sites, we will install it along with all the other software applications that come with a Hepsia-equipped dedicated server. When you set up a brand-new MySQL database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any activated database engine until you start installing a PHP script, whether manually via your web browser or using the automatic scripts installer that is included in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be recognized and will be assigned to that database, so you can run scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without needing to deal with any problem.
