2MHost is glad to announce the immediate availability of MySQL 8 databases with all hosting plans.
What's New in MySQL 8?
MySQL 8.0 should perform better and shows to be more efficient during benchmarking. It performs very well for read/write Workload versus MySQL 5.7. There's no reason not to use MySQL 8.0 if you're able to upgrade.
How to upgrade my hosting account to use MySQL 8?
Please contact us, we will migrate your website to a server with MySQL installed, please be sure that your website is compatible with the newer versions of MySQL.
What happens with MySQL 5?
We will continue supporting MySQL 5.7 on all servers.
Thank you,
2MHost Support Team
