Laravel hosting without the usual cloud headaches – here’s an alternative worth considering ⚡️

👋 Laravel devs, let’s talk cloud hosting. We’ve seen a lot of posts about the struggles of deploying Laravel apps—unexpected pricing spikes, opinionated platforms forcing you into their way of doing things, or just dealing with setups that feel way more complicated than they should be.

So here’s an alternative: Upsun. It gives you full control over your Laravel apps without unnecessary restrictions. No forced architectures, no lock-in—just a straightforward way to deploy and scale your app on your terms.

A few things that stood out:
✅ You’re not locked into specific infrastructure choices—bring your own setup.
✅ Transparent pricing without surprise fees.
✅ No weird workarounds to get Laravel running smoothly.
✅ Works for both small projects and big production apps.

If you’ve been looking for a more flexible way to host your Laravel apps without feeling trapped by a platform’s choices, this might be worth checking out.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works and why it might be a good fit.

Curious to hear from anyone who’s tried it—or if you’ve run into specific cloud hosting pain points with Laravel, let’s talk. 🚀
