Hosting with MariaDB included in all plans

Introduction

Yes. At miHosting.com, all our hosting plans include MariaDB, a modern, stable and broadly compatible option for applications such as WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop and many others.

MariaDB is often considered the natural evolution of MySQL, and in many cases it works in a very similar way.

What MariaDB is

MariaDB is a database system used to store important website information such as:

1. WordPress posts and pages.
2. Registered users.
3. Store products.
4. Website settings.
5. Forms, orders or bookings.

Do all hosting plans include MariaDB?

Yes. All miHosting hosting plans include MariaDB.

This means you can create databases to install and run popular web applications without needing an extra service.

Steps to use MariaDB in your hosting

1. Create the database from the panel.
2. Create the database user.
3. Assign permissions.
4. Use the saved details in your CMS or application.

Is MariaDB compatible with MySQL?

In many cases, yes. A large number of applications that work with MySQL also work with MariaDB.

Do you also offer servers with MySQL?
