This is shocking. How can a premium hosting service like cloudways not provide application level PHP version control. Also this makes the new Staging 2.0 completely useless. If i cannot test my application with different configurations for issues before deploying live, the staging is just a redudant installation with no purpose. This completely breaks the core update depoyment cycle and be a performance / security issue. Cloudways, figure out a way to fix this broken infrastructure.

SIX YEARS and no action. This is shocking.... otherwise Cloudways tech support is superb. why on earth a VULTR HF server can't do this is beyond me. I should have checked before I moved dozens of sites here.

It's really sad that Cloudways still misses a feature like this, Cloudways guys - you have to make this real, it's a really basic feature!

hugely important! with 14 applications (websites) on one server, a single global PHP upgrade is a nightmare and will need a LOT of planning and time.
my other (non Cloudways) servers allow PHP updates *PER APPLICATION*. really important!

Yes please - greatly needed.

Could determine whether to stay or move hosts.

Yes please.
Out of curiosity, is this not possible (hard/impossible) or incompatible to do implementation wise.

pleeeesse

Yes, absolutely agree. It would be great to have an ability to switch different PHP versions on each application.

All my other servers have this feature, each account can have it's own PHP settings. many clients would like to have one server but put different sites or applications on it. Cloudways has been great for that, but some client apps are not running the same version of PHP, so we can't consolidate.

Guys, they said that their current architecture doesn't allow them to support this feature so I'm thinking about migrating my apps to Laravel Forge. Does anyone have some other recommendations for a managed platform or what do you think about Forge?

Original post was done in May 2016. Almost six years later this feature is not available!
I have a lot of apps on one of my servers. Thus a PHP upgrade becomes a very onerous task!
There does not appear to be any good tools to validate an application against a PHP version in advance. You can only make a clone and then test. This is brutal when you have many apps (i have over 60)! If you can't make PHP per app available, at least provide some kind of decent tool to make the migration process much less painful i.e. a way to check app compatibility with the PHP version you want to move to.
Thank you.

Definitely needed!

Cloudways, please implement changing PHP version per application, this way we will be able to test on staging, before we make an update that can potentially brake a live site.

Need it in Cloudways!

Must needed feature.

Must have feature

Definitely a required feature.

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.

When are we likely to have this implemented?
