Hosting with mySQL ver. 5.1?

[clockwork84]

So, I've only been involved in affiliate marketing for a few weeks, and am using Hostgator on a shared plan with prosper202 for tracking. During the install, prosper suggested that my current mySQL version (5.0.2) will be inadequate in terms of performance once I have upwards of 5,000 clicks a day. I think once I start scaling my campaigns I will pass this pretty quickly. Can anyone recommend a good host with mySQL >=5.1? Thanks.

I personally use Liquid Web and have had no issues.

5.1 is still beta... I doubt many hosts are going to have it. You'll more than likely need a vps.

Yeah, I figured as much. I take it that most hosts will only run the latest stable build.

So, does anyone else run prosper202 on 5.0.2x and not see any performance slow-down?
