I normally use linux servers when I use godaddy! But you should be able to SSH to your end-point on ur shared hosting account and do all you need just as if you would do it on your local windows.

How do you setup Laravel 5 on a Windows Shared Hosting Server with Plesk?
Hi, I was looking for an online guide on how to do this but wasn't able to find anything of much promise. I am a new to this and was hoping someone could show me how to deploy Laravel 5 on a windows godaddy shared hosting server. Specifically, I'm looking for instructions on how to get it all set up from start to finish. The server does have all the necessary dependencies like mysql, php, etc...but i'm not sure how to access all of that. I know using laravel 5 on a windows server isn't ideal but I am stuck with it. I cannot use digital ocean or laravel forge or a linux distribution. I have installed a test version on my own windows local machine using wamp but i don't think godaddy will allow me to do that on their shared hosting plan. If anyone knows how to do this I would greatly appreciate if they could outline the steps they took and the references they found. Thanks.

@em57 when you say SSH are you referring to window's RDP? I'm not sure if windows has SSH

I am refering to the method that your shared hosting plan offer to access a shell to excute shell commands.

@em57 sorry, i'm still a bit new. Do you use RDP to execute shell commands? or is that something else?

@rl123456789 Honestly it is all my imagination! I am a linux type of guy but I believe as long as you have a command line tool and server requirements dependencies on the server, you should be able to rock. Probably some hickups in .htaccess down the road may appear but , since u r new, I would find my way out of the windows server and use a linux server based one instead if I was you . I Hope this was helpful!

You won't get it running good unless you have a few days to spend pulling your hair out.
Just get a cheap VPS from OVH or Linode or something, and get up and running nice and simple!
