InnoDB is a database storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by well known PHP-powered applications like Magento and Joomla™ 3. It’s ideal for scalable applications, because it performs incredibly well when processing huge data volumes. Instead of locking the entire database table to import new information into a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can process much more tasks for the same length of time. Also, InnoDB offers a much better database failure recovery and supports database transactions and foreign keys – rules that specify how data inserts and modifications should be handled. In case a certain operation has not been fully completed for some reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the content in the database will be kept undamaged and will not be partially mixed with newly appended content.
InnoDB in Cloud Web Hosting
You will be able to install any open-source script-driven software application that requires InnoDB in case you’ve got a cloud web hosting with our company, as the database engine is available on our innovative cloud website hosting platform by default. During the app activation – 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 install apps which require the MyISAM engine without having to deal with any problem as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t have to modify any setting manually at any time. Furthermore, we’ll also perform daily backups of all the databases that you have in the shared hosting account, so if you delete or overwrite something, we can swiftly get it back to the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the options which you can select on the server configuration page when you buy a dedicated server from our company. Since this is the most powerful type of website hosting, it’s rather likely that you’ll run very popular Internet sites that will attract a lot of visitors, and since InnoDB is among the best choices for such Internet sites, we will install it together with all the other software apps that are offered with a Hepsia-managed server. When you set up a brand-new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any activated MySQL database storage engine until you begin installing an open-source script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic scripts installer tool that is integrated into the Control Panel. The necessary engine will be detected and will be set for the database in question, so you can use scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without any complications.
