Description : 

• Multiphp Manager is one of the major improvements introduced by Cpanel team with Easy Apache 4.
• In order to use MultiPHP Manager you will need to upgrade the Easy Apache version to 4.
• The MultiPHP manager allows users and administrators to select the server default and per-domain default
  PHP versions.
• PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM) is an alternative PHP module that allows a website to handle
  strenuous loads on sites.
• PHP-FPM maintains pools (workers available to respond to PHP requests) to accomplish this.
• These pools of workers allow the website to handle more requests than it normally could.

cPanel provides the most recent stable versions of PHP. If you require legacy versions of PHP, such as PHP 4.4, 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 CloudLinux provides hardened and secured PHP versions that are patched against all known vulnerabilities.
