How to host an Lumen API back end

Hi All

I am creating my first REST API with Lumen, to use as a backend for a VUE.JS application.

I was wondering what the general consensus is with hosting an api. E.G

If my front end domain is myapp.com would I host my api on a different server and use a subdomain such as api.myapp.com. Or should I separate the backend completely and run it from myappapi.com ?

At the moment, I only have experience in Laravel, which both the front end and backend are once application sitting on the same server.

Any advice for a novice would be appreciated.

Thanks

It is enough to put front on domain and back on subdomain. No need to purchase another domain.

Is there a very good reason why you are complicating stuff for yourself?
