The SQL server is a required piece of software for the database WordPress uses to store all your site’s content and settings.

For optimal performance and security reasons, you should consider running MySQL version 8.0 or higher. Contact your web hosting company to correct this.
How do I correct this?

    hungryfitfoodie Hey, Ezoic is not your host, so we are unable to help with this request. You should contact your hosting provider.

      hungryfitfoodie It seems like the hosting representative you spoke to was confused. The comment you shared suggests that they checked the name servers of the domain and jumped to a false conclusion. You can explain to them that Ezoic works like a proxy, similar to Cloudflare. Checking nameservers and DNS zone records with public tools doesn't mean they are not the host. Ultimately, we are still pointing the site to your hosting server. You can see this when you log in to your Ezoic dashboard and Settings -> DNS. The IP address we have for the A record is 162---31.

        Thank you for explaining. I have to be honest. I don't like Host Gator.
