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.

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.

This is obviously a significant, but do-able configuration change, that would need front end dashboard control as well. But could a Cloudways Admin comment / update on this please?

I just found out that this is not available, and very surprised. CW is the first hosting environment I'm not allowed to chose a different PHP version for subdomain or subfolder application.
Surprisingly, this request was made since 2016 and still not implemented in 2020?
Please CW, this is a major requirement. Currently it is a big limitation & enough to be a show-stopper. I sincerely love the platform, but please consider implementing this

I have to agree with the original post.
For any users with multiple applications, this seems like a MAJOR limitation to me. It will force me to fire up (and pay for) a new server just to host an application that needs an older version of PHP than what I'd like my other apps to be using. -

4 years and not resolved. upgrading PHP version risk breaking another legacy application on the same server

I am needing this urgently

This is a no brainer. Please add this very basic feature.

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..

I really need this feature !

Stelios commented
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.
