Deploying Laravel 5.5 project on PHP 5.6 server

Hi, my project is done using laravel 5.5 and I use laravel homestead locally. Our company's main website is hosted on a Linux server which has php 5.6 in it(cannot be updated to php 7 since another laravel 4.3 application is running on it). Currently I am planning to deploy my laravel 5.5 application on a subdomain. I would like to know what is the best way to deploy the application to my server? should I create a homestead box in my server and deploy the application in it? or is there any alternatives? please suggest. thanks much

deploy on a different server. If its for a company then $5 or $10 per month should not be too much ?

You can point the subdomain to a different IP address no problems.

@Snapey Hi, yes that is an option but I wanted to know if this can be done by running a VM. I tried running a docker on my server and deploying laravel on the docker. Everything works fine but connecting to my database is an issue and I am also worried if running a docker would cause performance issues?
