Howdy,
The problem with multiple PHP versions on one server, is that distros generally don't have packages designed to run multiple versions side by side. They're usually designed to be one version or another.
This feature was recently added into Virtualmin when we discovered the CentOS/RHEL "Software Collections" repository, which contains packages designed to work side by side.
We're unfortunately not aware of a similar package for Ubuntu or Debian... though if you found one, we'd definitely review what it takes to make it work.
Alternatively, you could always manually compile it -- and just install it into paths similar to what the Software Collections package uses.

Thank you very much for your answer
Could you comment me more about 'Alternatively, you could always manually compile it -- and just install it into paths similar to what the Software Collections package uses'?
Greetings!
