Can I use an MSAccess Database?
Last Updated 6 years ago
No, Nexus does not offer a Microsoft Access Database as an option on its hosting plans.
As of time of writing, our user base has no active MSAccess Databases, and this option has been removed from our Windows hosting offerings. The WebSitePanel Hosting Controller still shows this as an available option, however any attempt to use it will generate an exception, and no database will be created. A future upgrrade of the hosting control panel, currently under test, will remove this option entirely.
The reason for this is due to the migration to 64bit hardware and Operating Systems, which will soon be complete. Once on a 64bit OS, the MSAccess ODBC Driver will no longer function, and you will no longer be able to use your database.
