Several Laravel Apps in Namecheap Shared Hosting?

Hi there! I just wanted to have an advice. For small apps and apis with just a few visits and calls, coud it be a good idea to have several laravel apps in a shared hosting? I use to have namecheap hosting for single apps, and works well, but never tried it with several apps, some advice? Thanks

You could switch it around and build several apps in one Laravel project.

@basiltap, I run multiple (small) sites this way (bluehost shared) hosting. The only gotchas have been accessing composer correctly and making sure the correct php version is being used for each site.

Edit: My account allows for what bluehost calls “add on” domains. Each domain I point to a specific directory.

@Sinnbeck will do. I’d be happy to walk someone thru it who uses bluehost. (To confirm it works for others) it may be relevant that I’ve been a customer for idk 🤷‍♂️ near twenty years there. So I don’t know if I have a “special” account.

In any case, since the last launch debacle I am writing a personal sop. Since typically I find myself making projects in binges. I’m literally deploying a small personal shopping list app there today.

@webrobert sounds great. Personally I prefer my own Linux servers like do droplets or similar. But would be great for the community for those who use shared

@Sinnbeck, far from perfect. But here is a first draft...

Any thoughts on a better place for it to live? Not thrilled about it living on my Notion.
