Some blogs use old, incompatible themes and plugins. We can't simply turn off the incompatible items -- the uses will storm the castle with torches and pitchforks. DS, in your case I would turn to a developer to assist you in this process due to the nature and size of your project. I updated my website from PHP 5. It breaks the website.

Its easy to upgrade using cPanel, few clicks away, I have created a sub-domain for the staging version. Now my question is, using cPanel, is there a way to upgrade the PHP version of my sub-domain and retain the old version for the live? Or do i need to test the upgrade on my local computer?

Each release branch of PHP is fully supported for two years from its initial stable release. During this period, bugs and security issues that have been reported are fixed and are released in regular point releases.
After this two year period of active support, each branch is then supported for an additional year for critical security issues only. Releases during this period are made on an as-needed basis: there may be multiple point releases, or none, depending on the number of reports. Once the three years of support are completed, the branch reaches its end of life and is no longer supported.
This can slightly increase the speed of your site but it also claims to carry security updates with each of the versions. They put that on every release announcement on every single update, so there is no way of telling which updates include significant security fixes and which contain nothing major.

It may be a bit of trial and error to see if everything works, but it is obviously better than crashing your whole site. Additionally there may be plugins which will not be supported with the latest PHP if the plugins are not updated that often. Always make updates to the third number of PHP, as these are patches and fixes for any bugs or security issues that have popped up along the way of the PHP.
When it comes to first or second number upgrades, proceed with slightly more caution. However, you should definitely be prioritizing PHP upgrades to make sure that your site remains competitive and fast.
