Which hosting company to pick that I can host laravel projects?
I have few projects that I worked on using Laravel framework. I want to deploy it, but I am not sure which hosting company to go with. I dont want shared hosting because I wanna be able to update dependencies using composer & install things with bower and be able to use gulp/composer.
Would you be able to suggest any hosting company that is affordable and also will be able to host laravel projects?

Linode or Digital Ocean tend to be safe choices. It depends on your budget.

Sorry if I posted something duplicate. I did search but I could not find a good answer.
@Snapey what do you think of www.openshift.com?

It reads well, but looks like a new service so you might have trouble finding anyone able to share findings. Buy hey, you could give it a try on the free tier and let us know how you get on!

@Snapey thank you. I think I'll try out the free one and if anything either upgrade or move on to Digital Ocean.

With any provider and MySQL latest you need at least one gb memory. I found MySQL lockups with 1gb and moderate traffic (30 plus users) and now go with at least the two gb memory at a minimum. $20 a month.

You can easily host laravel projects on Cloudways http://www.cloudways.com/en/laravel-hosting.php First check out the free trial.

Fortrabbit might also be a good choice: http://www.fortrabbit.com/laravel-hosting
Of course it also depends on your linux skills. If you dont have any linux skills i wouldnt go for a virtual machine on digital ocean or linode. Of course you can use forge to setup the server, but forge does not cover server security, updates and so an. What if you will be attacked, what if you get an DDoS attack, what if your mail server is on a spam list etc. etc.
So if you dont have any linux skills i would go for Fortrabbit
