I am running php shopping cart for years, just updated my server and is only has php 7.4 and above.
Does anyone know of a cheap cpanel host that still has php 5.6 option

Worst issue though is when you are happily on a plan that has 5.6 then you wake up the next morning and the server has been updated and 5.6 is no longer there. Of course, there was never any published promise of 5.6....
With respect, support for PHP 5.6 ended in December 2018 so you've had a fair bit of warning. Arguably, you've been living dangerously for more than 7 years and you're pretty lucky not to have been hacked in that time (or have you?). I would guess your shopping cart software is in a similar situation.
Going forward, you could of course get a VPS and run any version of software you like on it, but for most people that would be money down the drain. I would spend the time and effort on a migration script instead to get everything up to date. I've done it several times (shopping carts, ticketing systems, CRMs) and nowadays AI is actually pretty good at writing scripts like that. Whether it's worth it depends on how many products and customers you have - if it's fewer than say 100 it might be quicker to just copy and paste them by hand.

Thankfully, I've now changed the discussion forum that uses PHP 5.6 to read-only, and hoping to continue not being hacked.
