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.

    This is standard with the vast majority of hosts and should really be standard within cloudways too. It is unreasonable to have to create a server for each required PHP version.

    Still no progress with this. I move from runcloud to cloudways but this features still not implement yet. Please consider..

  • Stelios commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I think this is a must in the modern hosting providers, not all applications can run in the same php versions, and that keep me for transfer some other sites to cloudways. What is the reason that you don't move on to that necessary update?

    This should be standard. I have an application has to use 7.0 because it has ioncube loaded on it and 7.2 does not. However another application doesn't need ioncube so I would like to use 7.2 on it. Please make this applicable on a per app basis.

    This is also a standard feature on cpanel/WHM servers with EasyApache. It is not simple to implement in a standard way, though-- when working with a multi-php environment it introduces many other interesting issues.

    It is a big concern, and It should be possible to choose different php versions on a single server.
    No one have to pay additionally for a new server to just host a single application that support other version of php
    Everyone else on this planet is providing this facility to change PHP Version for application.
    So please make it possible.

    Yes, we all encounter situations where two sites have incompatible PHP versions requirements. Please add this features.

  • Carl-Michael Thunström commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    With the increasing releases of php versions you really need to implement this feature! There's no logic in having to move applications between servers when upgrading a single application on a multi application server.

    I need to run a website coded in CodeIgniter 2 and another one written in Laravel 5.6, First one required PHP 5 while the later requires PHP 7

  • Chris commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have client sites that require PHP 5.6 and others that have sites that support PHP 7+. It would be fantastic to have this ability on a per-application basis. ServerPilot allows PHP selection on a per-application basis, would be great to see Cloudways follow suit.
