[vox-tech] Multiple versions of PHP on one server

That gets sticky because each web server will want its own port to 
listen for connections. What I would do is set up a different container 
or VM for each hostname. With Digital Ocean for example that can be as 
little as $5/month each (Go to https://m.do.co/c/936b5848a629 for a $10 
discount).

That said, I have installed both Apache with PHP5.6 and Nginx with PHP7 
on the same server.  One on port 80 and 443, the other on 81.
