I promised a client to give different options for hosting their Laravel solution. One is that I manage it on a DigitalOcean droplet but as I need to spend about an hour a month on this, I will charge them more than a webhost might take.
So I'm looking for some alternative options I can recommend. It must be webhosts meaning upload and support for Laravels public folder, but not VPS or server management and not Forge as that would still give me a workload. Preferably git support, but not required. I can do FTP
Depends really where the client and visitors are located.. But I think basically any web host that gives you access to the folder containing the public folder would do.. so perhaps ask a few local web hosts about their folder structure..
I use fortrabbit (located in Berlin/ Germany, servers are AWS in Ireland or US)
Public folder access is not possible as far as I know, but they seem to have a great alternative using AWS S3 space that you can easily access with different tools.
Thanks for the feedback! I have also consulted some friends on Facebook and ended up with http://enavn.dk. They explicitly told me they are ready to customize the setup in order to make Laravel work as intended.
