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.

    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

    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

  • htoindia commented  ·   ·  Report

    i think there should an option to choose php version on application not on server level, so that if it is require to change php version, i don't need to ad a new server and pay extra for that

    Enable using different php version for each application on the same server

  • Robey commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • Itay Verchik commented  ·   ·  Report

    be able to upgrade or downgrade php versions per app, that overrides server default

  • Ben Hussenet commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • Blazeshosting commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • Stelios commented  ·   ·  Report

    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?

  • John Lewis commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

    @cloudways support can you tell us the eta on this? We really need this. Thanks

    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.
