There's no way am complicating something so basic. What if you have the website working locally in a public folder rather than public_html and then you have to make changes to your local branch and re-deploy to git? You'll face errors when your local branch is not in sync with your remote branch.

The best way to do is:

create a new .htaccess file inside public_html directory
Add these codes

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your-domain.com$ [NC,OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.your-domain.com$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !your-laravel-folder/public/
  RewriteRule (.*) /your-laravel-folder/public/$1 [L]

In the above lines you should replace the following: your-domain.com – Type your own domain name and also replace your-laravel-folder with your folder name.

Hello I would like to have your help I used your path to deploy my laravel application on hostinger but I have a 403 error

I have followed the same process but now my images are not showing, It says 404 error

Which Images are you talking?
Assets or user storage?

Didar Hojagulyyev • Aug 12 '20

User storage, because after uploading image,it again creates folder of public. so maybe it is better not moving files to public_html. Then What way should we do???

Oops ;-( ,
I completely missed that. you have to create one symbolic link from storage folder to public_html folder.

I Have faced the same issue with the storage folder and when I try to create a symbolic link of storage folder it shows the error -
symlink(): No such file or directory.
Please help me out with this.

It is well discouraged to use shared hosting for your Laravel 8 app, WHY ? Can you explain ?

Pushpak Chhajed • Mar 3 '21

laravel app needs more processing power.
Shared hosting has not that memory. if you have some complex application your application will be really slow.
But if you have some small CRUD system your application will work like a charm.

The Laravel application needs dedicated CPU and RAM based on your application traffic and concurrent session for consistent performance. On the other hand, server resources are shared between multiple applications in shared hosting, resulting in high page load time and inconsistent performance. Also, many developers need control over the server to run specific services, Php modules, change MySQL configuration or install additional software services based on application requirements.

In shared Laravel hosting, you can't change the server and software services configuration. Also no customization is allowed or significantly less control on the server.

I personally suggest Managed Laravel Hosting over cloud servers like AWS to all the developers, so you can get the freedom you want without worrying about the hosting complexities. Try Devrims Managed Laravel Hosting.
