The solution I’m going to use was developed with PHP 5.4 and MySQL 5.5.
I found in the forum that I can choose the PHP version on the premium hosting service.
Similarly, is it also possible to select MySQL 5.5?
For questions regarding premium hosting, please ask at support.iFastNet.com

No, it’s not possible to choose the MySQL versions on premium hosting. To be honest, I have never seen any hosting where that’s possible, unless the hosting gives you your very own database server (which is usually a lot more costly than a web hosting account).
But before you go looking for a different provider, do you actually know that your code doesn’t work with never MySQL versions? MySQL typically has very few things in their releases that can actually break applications. A lot of code written for PHP 5.4 won’t work on PHP 8.4 (but it is technically possible to write code that supports both), but MySQL is usually more flexible.
