ODBC MySQL Driver Support: Yes, Fully Supported
All our Windows Shared Hosting plans fully support ODBC MySQL drivers. This means you can connect your Windows-based applications to MySQL databases using standard ODBC connections without any additional setup from your side.
The required MySQL ODBC drivers (MySQL Connector/ODBC) are available on the server by default.
You can connect to MySQL databases hosted on our servers using ODBC as long as the application uses the correct: Database hostname, Username, Password, Port, Connection string
What You Need to Keep in Mind
Because this is a shared hosting environment, installing custom or third-party ODBC drivers on the server is not permitted. But the included MySQL ODBC drivers cover all standard needs.
Use Correct MySQL Connection String
Example format:
Driver={MySQL ODBC 8.0 Driver};
Server=yourmysqlhost;
Database=yourdbname;
User=yourusername;
Password=yourpassword;
Option=3;
Most Windows apps do, but double-check your framework’s requirements.
