Not Sure?

If you are unsure if your host meets the minimum requirements, we have created a letter for you to give to your Hosting company to see if they support MCP4. If they answer Yes to all questions, then MCP4 should work fine on your site.

Supported Databases

MySQL is the most common database type. Virtually all hosts support MySQL. Additional database systems at additional cost.
