it is a really good idea to run php7. php7 has a lot of new security and speed improvements. but this depends on the software you use, if. it is not compatible with php7, so you need still to use a older version or a multiphp envroiment.

Ah I see, so if i run PHP7 it might not be backward compatible with stuff that only goes up to a certain version. Do the commands above mean that the server will be exclusively PHP7 or would the existing PHP version remain? I think mycloud only wants 5.6 and the current version I have is 5.4.
The only other thing running on the server is wordpress and whatever vesta puts on.
Is the PHP version a linux or vesta thing?
