Shared host that can run Laravel 5.1 suggestions

None.

The problem is not the JUST, the hosting,

You are able to host it on cPanel with a few tweaks, but shared hosting would not permit you to install composer.

So you would have to upload everything (including the vendors);

So i believe its possible,.

@skaisser that's not a problem. I just need Laravel to run. Deployment process doesn't have to be optimal.

I was using Siteground before I switched to DigitalOcean. They were decent for shared hosting. Great customer service.

@jjosephs

Maybe you should take a look at Dreamhost.

I bought it several years ago and has some websites (with Laravel 4.2, 5.0, 5.1).

Hope it help.

I've used http://www.bluehost.com/ in the past and had multiple Laravel projects on it.

Just make sure you're setting the correct public folder when adding a new domain.

@Bloomanity have you launched any 5.1 projects on there recently. Support said they only run php 5.4 on shared...

If you want something still managed http://www.fortrabbit.com/laravel-hosting

Time to change "Support"? Really, no one should be using shared hosting in 2015.

http://phpversions.info/shared-hosting/ It's not exhaustive but this might help you find hosts that offer PHP >= 5.5.9.

Is there any particularly geographical location you were looking for? If you are US based then you probably don't want a European host.

@jjosephs no, not in a good while ... L4 was my last project on a shared hosting... I've went DO since. Sorry

I understand there are circumstances but DO for example cost wise is the same (actually cheaper then most for the tiny droplet). Plus one click vertical and horizontal...... Been 4 years since I looked at shared hosting.

@jjosephs I’ve set up Laravel applications on basic GoDaddy hosting in the past, where clients have purchased their own hosting. I believe GoDaddy also offers SSH access, so you could even set up some form of “automated” deployment—even if it’s just a script that SSH’s into your account and runs git pull.

I think you’d need to manually upload Composer packages though, as I doubt GoDaddy make composer available from the command line.

For UK Based, see my article about Heart Internet; http://novate.co.uk/deploy-laravel-5-on-shared-hosting-from-heart-internet/

In the UK I've used these, defo recommend them. https://www.tsohost.com/

https://asmallorange.com/hosting/shared/ they are providing composer, git along with cpanel

i have used www.combell.com , pretty good

If you are looking for somethng cheap but very reliable have a look at http://buyshared.com the parent is http://buyvm.net

Been with them years, they are simply top notch in the budget arena, the guys behind it awesome.

More importantly Laravel works absolutely fine, I have a few installs running there.

Thank for all the great suggestions so far.

Right now I'm seriously considering these two providers.

I'll compare all your suggestions as well.

I have also used godaddy, you can change php ver in shared hosting with godaddy.

I have setup Laravel on shared hosting. However I would recommend you go with using Laravel forge to deploy to digital ocean.

It makes it super easy. You can deploy a new site in five minutes which is amazing.

Forge is $10/mo but well worth the time savings of configuring a server and easy code deployment. You can run Laravel on a $5/mo droplet on DO although the $10/mo droplet is recommended. If you're just running test sites you can host multiple Laravel sites on one $10/mo droplet. For production of course each one should be on their own droplet and you can increase the resources/cost as your project scales.

Shared hosting was ok, it took some time to get all the paths setup correctly. Laravel will reside above the public_html directory. I was using Laravel 4 at the time. There are a few good tutorials out there you can find through Google.

With the pain points of running on shared hosting I would definitely go with Forge + Digital Ocean.

Homestead + Forge + Digital Ocean = Just Works

I'm in the process of developing a laravel 5.0 site on shared BlueHost. So far I have no problems, just had to change some paths, and all was fine. 5.1 was not possible because of the php version limit.

Happy to report my little project runs fine on guru.. git, composer all work fine.

For pete sake I have a site on godaddy, no problems, and to upload see @Qlic answer here https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/upload-project-laravel

why do some people like making things hard? HARD CODE Configuration, ENV FILE SHOULD NOT BE USED on a live server. Many hobbyist here who don't have a clue use env in a production environment.

Dang, didn't see how old this post was.

There are shared hosting sites that are starting to implement support for laravel projects such as https://www.a2hosting.com/laravel-hosting. I personally use forge and digital ocean/aws for the same reason everyone lists here (that it is awesome and easy to set up and works great!), but I did a quick search on google for "laravel shared hosting", and saw some seemingly legit pre-setup options if anyone is still looking for this answer.

dreamhost support 7.1 PHP.. & you have access to SSH (although composer upload does kill the Memory they allocate you so you would have to FTP)
