    You can use as many different versions as you want.
    Consider:

    1. Install PHP versios with PHP-FPM

    2. Create directory strucure for each version (website)

    3. Configure Apache for Both Websites.

    With the above configuration you have combined virtual hosts and PHP-FPM to serve multiple websites and multiple versions of PHP on a single server. The only practical limit on the number of PHP sites and PHP versions that your Apache service can handle is the processing power of your instance.

    There is a step by step guide here :Multiple PHP version on one server

    cPanel has a feature called Multi-PHP, which does what you need (if your host has it enabled).

    For each project, it puts a snippet like this in the .htaccess which sets the PHP version to use:

    # php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php81” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php81 .php .php8 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

    The example above is for PHP 8.1.
