MySQL Database Upgrades - September 202016 September 2020, in Shared HostingAs previously notified in June, we will be carrying out updates to our Shared Hosting MySQL 5.7 Database Servers to upgrade them to MySQL 8 during September 2020.

Customers may need to make changes to their databases and applications that connect to those databases to be compatible with MySQL 8. The biggest change is how you authenticate with MySQL 8 Databases. We will be retaining the 'Standard' login for existing MySQL Users to avoid impacting customer services. Reason: MySQL 5.7 goes End Of Life (EOL) in October 2020 when security updates from Oracle will end. |
