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.

this looks a killing point here, it is really very urgent to have it done

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.

This an important feature. Please give up a mul iPHP setting

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?

It would be great if we could choose the PHP version per application. Right now, when we have multiple websites/webshops on a server, they all are required to use the same PHP version. This gives difficulties when updating which requires a newer PHP version.

can i vote more than 1? +1000

just realize it came from 2016. 2020 still no update

On different platforms it is possible to have different versions of PHP for different applications.

It would be very good if CloudWays provided that too.

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

based on the current architecture we cannot support this at an app level. The alternative would be to use a different server for different PHP requirement

absolutely +1 for this
