Add more virtual host to your virtual server.
Apache

Nginx

Umm I guess its the only way .. but will it be ok to have a .htaccess like so:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain-name.com$ [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain-name.com$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !folder/ RewriteRule (.*) /folder/$1 [L]
to make it redirect to the Laravel public folder?

Deployment is different depending on whether your using shared hosting, and it also greatly depends on what webserver software using. It's almost always apache2 or nginx.
You are not going to share a folder with another Website, as you might html site. Laravel needs a virtual host, as stated by previous posters.
