What MySQL version does miHosting use?

Introduction

At miHosting, we keep installed the latest stable MySQL version available and compatible with our servers.

Many customers need this information to install an application, check technical requirements, migrate a website or confirm database compatibility. However, the exact version can change over time due to updates, security improvements or maintenance.

Steps to know the exact MySQL version

1. Check whether your application requires a specific version

   Review the technical requirements of the application you want to install.

2. Review your hosting environment

   You can manage databases from panels such as DirectAdmin or cPanel, although the exact engine version is not always shown clearly there.

3. Contact miHosting support

   If you need the exact version installed on your server, contact support from your client area and include:

   • The domain linked to your service.
   • The hosting plan you are using.
   • Why you need the version number.
   • The minimum version required by your application, if any.

4. Wait for the technical confirmation

   The support team can review the corresponding server and provide the updated exact version.

Useful tips

• Avoid relying on old screenshots or third-party posts for version numbers.
• If compatibility matters, ask support before migrating or installing the project.
• Remember that different environments may have different configurations.
