InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it provides a much better overall performance and a faster crash recovery compared with the default engine that’s used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by numerous devs that build scalable apps, since it works much more efficiently with enormous volumes of data, while it keeps the server load low. In addition, it locks only a single row in the database in case anything should be edited, whereas many other engines lock the entire database table and thus need much more time to accomplish several sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB complies with a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for some reason, the action is rolled back to prevent scrambling or losing data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ versions are two instances of widespread PHP-driven software apps which have switched over to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Shared Web Hosting
Any script-powered software application that needs InnoDB will function flawlessly on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform and the database engine is offered with all our shared web hosting plans. Each time you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation is started, the engine that the database in question will make use of will be selected based on the app’s prerequisites without the need to edit any setting in your shared account. InnoDB will be picked automatically for any application that requires this specific engine and you will be able to get the most out of its full potential. We’ll maintain regular backups of your content, so if you accidentally remove a MySQL database that is important to you or you overwrite a certain part of it, we will be able to restore your content the way it was just a couple of hours earlier.
InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
Our Hepsia Control Panel is among the features that you can select on the order form when you purchase a dedicated server from us. Since this is the most powerful type of website hosting, it’s rather likely that you’ll manage very popular sites that will draw plenty of individuals, and since InnoDB is among the very best options for such websites, we’ll install it together with all the other software applications that are available with a Hepsia-equipped server. If you set up a brand-new MySQL database in your dedicated server account, there won’t be any activated storage engine until you begin installing a script, whether manually via your browser or using the automatic script installer tool that is available in the hosting Control Panel. The required engine will be automatically recognized and will be set for the database in question, so you can install scripts that need InnoDB, as well as ones that need the default MySQL engine – MyISAM, without needing to deal with any obstacle.
