Checked with Hosting, they cannot upgrade to 5.7. for my account type.
Is there any way to bypass the MySql version upgrade?
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be an option, I tried with my hosting provider and they were unable to offer it either. Only siteground seems to be offering 5.7 and only to new accounts. I have a 3-year-old account and they are forcing me to buy a new one if I want moodle 3.10, it looks like cpanel doesn't support 5.7 and all new account come with something call "Site Tools" instead of Cpanel
New SiteGround hosting is on Google servers ... believe it or not.

How much per month are you willing to spend? How much are you willing to learn in admin of a VPS/Cloud server? Those questions not for response here in forums but for your consideration when 'shopping' for hosting a moodle.
The key to getting what you want when you want it is to build your own. There are providers, like Rackspace, that will allow customer to choose a VPS (un-managed by them) by specs and OS ... like CentOS 8, Ubuntu 20.x, Debian X. They are minimal when it comes to apps ... get only sshd to begin.
You, then set up your repos, and build what you want.
MySQL has their own repo. Don't use the OS versions.
For PHP ... remi offers PHP 7 versions and their setup similar to MySQL repo set up.
All nix's offer Apache or Nginx from their base repo.
Just gotta dig the net to find who offers what you seek!
My 2 cents.

How true.Howard! We all pick our own 'poisons'!
There is also Webmin for a panel.

Hello !
My solution:
My server environment was OK except the database. i have 5.6 rather than 5.7.
For the moments my site it's working fine but I'm not feel secure about these procedure.
Regards !
Well, I'd agree that one should be a little concerned. ;)
Not sure anyone but a true DB/Moodle coding expert could know and tell ya for sure. So, might be wise to look at what one has to do to get server where you can control versions of not only MySQL but PHP etc.
It's always been upwards ... and just round the corner is yet 40 of Moodle.
