The cheapest and easiest way to deploy a Laravel app is, according to me, on a shared webhosting.

What is the cheapest way to deploy a laravel webapp?

If a personal small site I agree. But don't go cheap if a business site for a customer. You get what you pay for. You at least want a host where you have control, can ssh in, and properly setup the laravel folder structure.

I will recommend two hosting providers that can give you a hand.
Free hosting (Recommended for getting usted to deploy a laravel site on shared hosting) https://www.000webhost.com/
Payed hosting https://www.hostinger.com/

Digital Ocean but its not that cheap, but if if you're using MySQL that's bit more expensive. I paid about 25$ a month.
However, I was thinking to use https://forge.laravel.com/ store the webapp on Digital Ocean, the database on forge I think? And content for my site images/videos store on AWS S3.
Is it the cheapest? I don't think so, but probably what I need.
I'm sure I could get it cheaper if I got rid of forge, but then I'm not that great of a dev ops.
I think maybe you can also host a personal site on heroku for free? But depends on what you need the site for.
