ICDSoft Now Supports Both MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 on All Plans
📅 - ICDSoft, an independent hosting provider with over 20 years of experience, has enhanced its server setup by offering two separate MySQL versions - MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 - to all current and future clients at no extra cost. Users can simply choose which MySQL version to use for their new databases, and they can have both MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 databases running simultaneously on their hosting accounts.
All software available for 1-click installation via ICDSoft's App Installer tool will use MySQL 8 from now on. WordPress users, who enjoy a separate toolkit for easy installation and management of WordPress sites, will be able to choose which MySQL version to use for each new installation they make.
Unlike a multi-PHP environment, which is quite common and many hosts support it, a multi-MySQL environment is quite rare, as it can be very challenging to properly implement and support it, especially on shared servers where a lot of users run many different applications with different software requirements. However, as ICDSoft does not rely on third-party solutions for server management and control panel software, implementing a fully functional multi-MySQL setup was actually pretty straightforward.
As MySQL 5.7 will reach EOL in October, 2023 and more and more applications will require MySQL 8, users will soon need to upgrade from MySQL 5 to MySQL 8. With the new MySQL setup, ICDSoft now makes this process a lot easier for its clients.
Below you can find a quick summary of the most recent updates and improvements to the ICDSoft WordPress Manager, which is included for free with every hosting account:
- The system now checks for WordPress installations that have not been imported to WordPress Manager. If it finds some, it will show a notification with a convenient button to scan and import them.
- We also automatically check for outdated plugins, and if we find some, users can review and update them with one c

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly changed the way we communicate with each other. Video conferencing and web meetings are now the preferred (and recommended) way to see friends and relatives, collaborate with coworkers, conduct business, etc. Basically, this is the best way to stay at home and follow social distancing guidelines while at the same time keeping in touch with people.

📅 - ICDSoft announces a new promotion to ease up businesses moving online - Considering the importance of web hosting for the entire business world now, we have decided to lower the initial price for all new hosting accounts. We hope that this will ease up the transition of many businesses.
At ICDSoft we don’t place restrictions on the use of disk space. The limits are clearly defined, and you can use your web space for running a web store, running a remote Nextcloud instance, plain file storage, etc.
The promotion is also valid for new customers moving from other providers, in need for a cheaper web hosting alternative.
We are well-prepared to handle hundreds of new accounts, due to the recent hardware upgrade cycle we completed in 2019.
