Hosting godaddy.com not support laravel 5.4

It probably doesn't work because the PHP version that GoDaddy has doesn't meet the requirements of Laravel 5.4.

Try looking into hosting providers that offer PHP 5.6.4 and up. I believe fasthosts and 1and1 support PHP 7.

digital ocean/linode are good and cheap

Check out https://www.fortrabbit.com/laravel-hosting which takes care of everything.

Otherwise DigitalOcean with Laravel Forge is a very nice combination.

I like that Laravel Forge just charges $15 per user, instead of per project. But the downside is, that when hosting just one project or starting with one project, it can be a bit costly.

I want to hosting Laravel web App and web service API for android and IOS .

Billion users will use my app. So DigitalOcean is good for me ?

Billions of users? You'd definitely want a respectable load balancing setup and ease to horizontally scale as needed. I'd personally stick with this list:

• Amazon Lightsail - https://amazonlightsail.com/

• AWS Elastic Beanstalk - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/php-laravel-tutorial.html

• Digital Ocean - https://www.digitalocean.com/

• Heroku - https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-laravel

• Azure Web App - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/app-service-web-php-get-started

To Run Laravel 5.4 project on Godaddy. Follow these steps required: SSH Login, Git

1. Go to your GoDaddy cpanel and change php version 7

2. create a folder outside the public_html eg: applications

3. pull your project to applications

4. update your composer.json file

5. copy index.php and .htaccess from applications/public to public_html

6. edit index.php: remove all code and add these lines

7. Your project will access assets, css, js files from public_html you can keep these files in public_html or you can create symlink from your applications/public to public_html eg: ln -s /home/username/applications/css /home/username/public/

@phuongphally Let's be realistic, you're not going to get a billion users using your app. If you think that, you're just delusional. You probably won't even make it to 100 users.

I would like to add Cloudways name to @bpuglisi's list of load balancing setup and ease to horizontally scalable server providers.

I have a laravel 5.5 site on godaddy. Use Cpanel, change version of php.

I want to hear from @phuongphally - did he reach Billion users yet on $5 Digital ocean droplet?

@phuongphally GoDaddy is just for newbies. If you have enough budget than go with SiteGround or Bluehost. Here you can find the comparison between these two hosting: https://wphostsite.com/siteground-vs-bluehost/
