Hello-
My client currently is hosting their site on HostGator and needs to upgrade from Joomla 3 to either 4 or 5. I was hoping to get them set up on Joomla 5, but HostGator servers only support MySQL 5.7+ and Joomla 5 requires 8.0.13.
I am wondering whether I should recommend they change hosting providers (and can anyone suggest a hosting provider that uses MySQL 8?) or if Joomla 4 will have a long life and therefore this would be an unnecessary move at the moment.
Thanks.
