InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining in popularity lately, as it offers a better overall performance and a faster database failure recovery compared with the default engine that is used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by numerous web developers that build scalable applications, because it works much better with enormous volumes of data, while it keeps the server load at a minimum. Also, it locks only a single row in the database if any info should be edited, while lots of other engines lock the entire table and therefore need more time to fulfill multiple consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB obeys a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification cannot be completed for whatever reason, the action is rolled back to avoid scrambling or the loss of data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ versions are two instances of popular script-based apps which have moved to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Hosting
While InnoDB is either a paid upgrade or it is not available at all with many other web hosts, it’s an integral part of the standard set of features that we’re offering with our hosting packages. In case you’d like to make use of a script-based software app that requires InnoDB specifically, in order to be activated and to perform correctly, you will not come across any difficulties since the InnoDB database engine is available on our custom-built cloud website hosting platform. Regardless of whether you create a brand-new database and activate an application manually or use our one-click application installer software tool, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the respective application requires InnoDB rather than MyISAM. In addition to the incredible database failure recovery that InnoDB is offering, we also make daily backups of all databases, so we can swiftly recover any database in your shared account.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the features that you can choose on the order form when you buy a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful kind of hosting, it is rather likely that you’ll run highly popular websites that will attract plenty of individuals, and since InnoDB is among the best options for such sites, we’ll enable it along with all the other software applications that come with a Hepsia-managed server. If you set up a new MySQL database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active MySQL database storage engine till you begin installing a script, whether manually via your web browser or using the automatic script installation tool that is available in the hosting Control Panel. The needed engine will be detected automatically and will be set for that database, so you can activate scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM – the default MySQL engine, without needing to cope with any impediment.
