    You can install MySQL 5.7 (percona) on a cPanel/WHM server by following these instructions:

    But keep in mind, if you use MySQL 5.7 on a cPanel/WHM server it will break some of the mysql functionalities as in you won’t be able to create mysql users using the cPanel/WHM web interface. So you’ll have to create the respective mysql users manually

    It appears this is no longer the case. cPanel has recently mentioned it will now support MySQL 5.7 starting with cPanel & WHM version 70.

    It maybe worth looking at again if you haven’t found a solution yet.
