Mariadb has been created by the creator of mysql and it's a fork of mysql. The main difference is the license because mariadb is open-source and mysql is not.
And if many people are moving to mariadb, it's because it have better performance than MySQL currently.

From your control panel I'm not sure, but in fact, you just have to uninstall MySQL, than to install mariadb and it's already done.

You don`t need to switch the base. You can contact hosting provider or ask your admin to reinstall database. If i remember right this option exists in cPanel.
