Laravel on GoDaddy Shared Hosting

How would I go about this?

I bought a shared hosting a week ago but then I heard that Laravel isn't good for shared hosting.

Anyways, I want to try to create a website using Laravel on GoDaddy.

I've tried a couple of times:

  • First time, I downloaded Laravel directly on the hosting using Installatron, but it only supports Laravel 5. The problem with this option is that I do not have access to the terminal on the shared hosting and I cannot run composer commands or php artisan.

  • Second time, I started a Laravel project on my local workspace and connected the database to the GoDaddy Hosting. It was okay at first, but then I started receiving errors when trying to register a user. I think there was a problem between the Laravel version and MySQL version.

I've deleted everything and want to start from nothing but need your help to make sure I do it correctly this time.
