InnoDB is a popular database engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got plenty of strong sides which have made it the engine of choice for numerous open-source script-powered web applications, including Magento and Joomla, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For example, adding large volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single database row to accomplish a particular operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the data is treated. Put simply, adding new or updating existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case any issue shows up in the meantime, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
InnoDB in Cloud Website Hosting
You’ll be able to install any PHP script-powered application that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a Linux cloud website hosting with our company, as the MySQL database storage engine is available on our advanced cloud platform as standard. Throughout the app activation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup will continue flawlessly if this engine is required. You can install applications that require the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any impediment as well and, once again, the engine will be pre-selected, so you will not have to configure anything manually at any point. What’s more, we will also generate daily backups of all the MySQL databases that you have in your shared account, so if you delete or overwrite something, we can easily restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can install an open-source script-driven software app that needs InnoDB with any of our semi-dedicated server packages, because all the accounts are created on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform where the MySQL database engine is installed. A new MySQL database can be set up in two different ways – manually from the Database Manager section of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, or automatically – when you make use of our single-click application installer. Either way, the needed engine will be picked automatically as soon as the app’s activation begins, so you won’t need to configure anything manually, no matter if the application requires InnoDB or the more commonly used MyISAM. Furthermore, we will always be able to recover any of your MySQL databases in case you delete one by accident, as we generate a couple of MySQL database backups every day, each of which is stored for 1 week.
InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
InnoDB is available as standard with all Linux dedicated hosting ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. It is included in the software bundle that we install on all Hepsia-managed servers, so once your machine is ready, you’ll be able to log in and to activate any kind of open-source script-based app that requires this particular MySQL storage engine. If you set up a new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any activated engine until you begin installing an app. Once the app activation wizard begins entering information into the database, the engine will be set automatically in accordance with the given app’s requirements, so you can run both InnoDB and MyISAM without the need to select either one explicitly at any point. Thus, you can make use of a wide collection of applications for your websites.
