HostPapa operates strictly in a Linux operating system environment and does not use or support any Microsoft Windows operating systems-based servers at this time.
As a result, we do not support or offer Microsoft MSSQL-based applications or databases.
However, as an alternative, our customers find that the MySQL Open Source database product with PHP is suitable for the vast majority of their needs.
To learn more about setting up MySQL databases, check out these helpful video tutorials:
