What Version of MySQL/MariaDB Does Your Web Host Support?

Here is our current listing of Version Support for MySQL/MariaDB databases for each web hosting company. Along with programming, database management is key for website development projects. While MySQL is still widely used, because of it’s also open-source and somewhat faster than MySQL, MariaDB has also become a popular supported database among web hosts. However, versions can vary widely and are frequently updated. For those reasons, please check back here often for the latest updated version support.
