Choose PHP Version for every Application (not for Server)
It should be possible to choose different php versions on a single server. This is possible in most shared hosting environments and is a big advantage.
It is expensive to create a new server only because you need for example an old php version for a specific application which is not compatible.

Cloudways please implement this feature in your platform. The request is 4 years old and really a must!

I agree it should be possible since another application might not be compatible while another one is. And to make an application compatible we need to do this one by one.

Also very important for the staging application so it's possible to test an upgrade to PHP/MariaDB on the staging application before applying it on the production application.

This has already been suggested, and has many votes. I suggest migrating your vote over to that ticket, and deleting this new one, rather than spread votes out between two of them. https://cloudways.uservoice.com/forums/203824-service-improvement/suggestions/13946670-choose-php-version-for-every-application-not-for

It's been 4 years...
When will you be able to choose the PHP version individually for each application? -

This is the reason why I am not onboard.
I know few others are also waiting for this feature. -

Very surprised to find this is not possible as others mentioned. Sure we can spin up another server, but that can be costly for one app using older php

I found this method, which has been implemented on Hostinger https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12561203/how-to-change-php-version-in-htaccess-in-server but I don't know if it is currently compatible with Cloudways.

Really need this. Upgrading the PHP version for all sites on my server at the same time is very risky and hard to detect issues right away. Plus, some sites are not able to run the latest version. It's not reasonable to have a second server just for the odd site that can't work on certain versions.
Plus, because plugins get updated, it would most likely result in bouncing sites around to different servers based on what plugins become capable of supporting those later versions (and then bouncing them back next time a plugin doesn't work).

As everyone else has said, this is such a basic feature that's unbelievable it's not implemented even though It has been requested since 2017. It's 2021!

I think it's time we get a real answer for when Cloudways will put in the effort to implement such an essential, basic feature that is offered by virtually every other hosting provider.
Their "workaround" to run separate servers for different PHP versions is ludicrous.

It is unbelievable how Cloudways platform has so many features but not this one... It is really disappointing because it causes a lot of trouble for developers.

This is a must needed addition to the platform. I have many applications that must run on 7.1 due to plugin incompatibility issues with later versions, but my Laravel applications that I'm developing using Laravel 8.x require PHP 7.4. There should be no reason why PHP versions at an application level cannot apply.
