InnoDB is a MySQL storage engine, which has been gaining in popularity lately, as it offers a significantly better overall performance and an improved database failure recovery in comparison to the default engine used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by lots of devs that build scalable web apps, because it works much better with enormous volumes of data, while it keeps the server load at a minimum. Also, it uses row-level locking in case any information should be modified, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire database table and hence need much more time to process multiple consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB obeys a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the action is rolled back to prevent confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the newest versions of Joomla™ are two instances of widespread script-powered applications that have moved to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
Any PHP-based application that requires InnoDB will run impeccably on our avant-garde cloud platform and the MySQL database engine is offered with all our website hosting plans. Every time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer tool creates one automatically and an app installation process is initiated, the engine that the database will make use of will be selected on the basis of the app’s prerequisites without having to configure any setting in your web hosting account. InnoDB will be selected automatically for any app that requires this specific engine and you will be able to make the most of its full potential. We’ll keep daily content backups, so in case you unintentionally remove a MySQL database that’s important to you or you overwrite a specific part of it, we will be able to restore your database the way it was just a couple of hours ago.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you create a brand new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel coming with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you start installing a script-powered web application either manually or using our one-click application installer, the MySQL database storage engine will be set automatically depending on the specific app’s requirements. As InnoDB is available on the cloud website hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated account will be set up, it will be set as the default engine for any app that needs it without the need for any manual intervention on your end at any moment. To avoid any risk of losing info if you update an application or if you delete a database by mistake, we will perform a backup of all your databases each and every day, so if something happens, we can restore your data.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
When you get a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-equipped Virtual Private Server will permit you to activate any script-driven web application which needs InnoDB, as the storage engine is part of the software bundle that will be pre-installed on your server during its configuration. When you create a brand-new database via the hosting Control Panel, you will simply have to begin installing an application – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine on the condition that the app in question requires it, so you will not need to do anything else in your account. In the same manner, if a given application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this particular MySQL database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
If you get a new dedicated server, you will be able to choose any of the 3 Control Panels that we are offering – Hepsia and cPanel. Each dedicated server ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel comes with InnoDB pre-installed, so you will not need to enable this MySQL database engine manually so as to be able to run script-powered web apps that need it. InnoDB is used for scalable apps and since a dedicated server will give you all the resources that you require to manage large-scale sites, it’s rather likely that you’ll use InnoDB. You’ll be able to use other engines too, so in case a given app requires MyISAM rather than InnoDB, you will not encounter any difficulty while running it. The engine that will be used will be recognized automatically when the app installation procedure begins, so you will not need to configure any setting manually at any point.
