I think the good shared hosts now support SSH. What hosting are you using?
There's no real solution for using queues without some sort of cron job functionality.

I have searched a lot about this before posting it here and I think still there is no clear answer. The most elegant solution is from @daem0n posted in other thread
$schedule->command('queue:work --daemon')->everyMinute()->withoutOverlapping();
However, some people has reported that this was keeping the schedule:run command going and was creating several new queue:work commands.
In Laravel 5.5, I saw this code
$schedule->job(new Heartbeat)->everyFiveMinutes();
https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/scheduling#scheduling-queued-jobs According to doc-
The job method may be used to schedule a queued job. This method provides a convenient way to schedule jobs without using the call method to manually create Closures to queue the job
Not sure if this is the right solution to run queue:work without any problem?
What are you using for shared hosting where you can not access shell ?
