To run a PHP version on the server from that is assigned by default under your cPanel Control Panel -> "Select PHP Version", please add this line to your .htaccess file:
<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-alt-php56___lsphp
</FilesMatch>
Where x-httpd-alt-php56___lsphp is the PHP version you are seeking. Our servers support PHP 5.6 - 8.x+
The part php56 is interchangeable to php73 for PHP 7.3 , php80 for PHP 8.0
Here are some examples:
PHP 7.4:
<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-alt-php74___lsphp
</FilesMatch>
PHP 8.1:
<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-alt-php81___lsphp
</FilesMatch>
