Laravel Hosting Explained
What Is Laravel Hosting?
Laravel is the popular PHP framework known for its expressive syntax and complete toolkit. It includes the Eloquent ORM, Blade templates, authentication, queues, task scheduling, and a command-line tool called Artisan.
Because Laravel runs on PHP, a standard Laravel app can live on web hosting with a MySQL database. The key setup detail is that only Laravel's public folder should be reachable from the web, so your .env file and application code stay private.
Some Laravel features need processes that run all the time, like queue workers, Horizon, Reverb WebSockets, and Octane. Those belong on a VPS, where you have root access to run and supervise them.

How to Deploy Laravel on HostPapa Web Hosting
A standard Laravel app goes live on web hosting in six steps. The most important one is keeping everything except public out of the web root.
Step 1: Prepare a production build. Run composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader and npm run build on your machine or in CI so your vendor folder and compiled assets are ready.
Step 2: Upload outside the web root. Upload your project to a folder outside public_html, such as laravel, with File Manager, FTP, or cPanel's Git Version Control.
Step 3: Point the document root at public. In cPanel, set your domain's document root to the project's public folder so only that folder is reachable from the web.
Step 4: Configure the environment. Create a MySQL database and user in cPanel, then set APP_ENV=production, APP_DEBUG=false, your APP_KEY, and the database credentials in .env.
Step 5: Migrate and cache. Run php artisan migrate --force, php artisan config:cache, and php artisan route:cache from a terminal session on your server.
Step 6: Turn on the scheduler. Add a cron job in cPanel that runs php artisan schedule:run every minute so Laravel's scheduled tasks run on time.
Pick the Right Environment
Web Hosting or VPS for Your Laravel Project?
Choose web hosting if you're running a standard Laravel app with MySQL, scheduled tasks through cron, and queues that can use the database or sync driver.
Choose a VPS if you need long-running queue workers supervised by Supervisor or systemd, Horizon, Reverb WebSockets, Octane, or Redis. Root access lets you run and monitor those processes.
Choose a dedicated server if your Laravel platform handles heavy production traffic or runs several apps side by side.

Can I host Laravel on HostPapa web hosting?
Yes. A standard Laravel app runs on PHP web hosting with a MySQL database. Point your domain's document root at the public folder and keep the rest of the project outside public_html.
Why should only the public folder be in the web root?
Laravel's .env file and application code contain secrets and logic that should never be downloadable. Serving only public keeps everything else private.
How do I run Laravel's task scheduler?
Add a cron job in cPanel that runs php artisan schedule:run every minute. Laravel then decides which scheduled tasks are due.
When should I move my Laravel app to a VPS?
Move to a VPS when you need processes that run all the time, like queue workers, Horizon, Reverb WebSockets, or Octane, or when you want Redis for cache and sessions.
Which database can I use with Laravel?
Web hosting plans include MySQL databases you create in cPanel. On a VPS you can also install PostgreSQL or Redis alongside your app.
Does HostPapa offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee1, so you can deploy your Laravel app and test performance risk-free.
