Versions of MySQL prior to 5.6 are not currently supported – Asp.net

Recently my web host decided to switch to MariaDB from MySQL. Since then, I get the following error whenever a page tries to connect to the database. "Versions of MySQL prior to 5.6 are not currently supported". I’m using ASP.NET MVC, with Entity First, with the following packages installed MySql.Data 8.0.28, MySql.Data.Entities 6.8.3, MySql.Data.EntityFramework 8.0.28, MySqlConnector 2.1.8. They are all up-to-date as of writing this.

My web.config file has the following:

<entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
            type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.EntityFramework"/>
        <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient"
            type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer"/>
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>
  <system.data>
   <DbProviderFactories>
     <remove invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
     <add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" 
          type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=8.0.28.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />
   </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>
</entityFramework>

I have tried looking and cannot find much on this error. I’m not sure if this would be something on the host’s end or something I can fix on my end since all of the packages are up-to-date.
