We Strongly suggest you to choose a vps or dedicated server for following reasons

1. Since Laravel needs access to terminal and most cPanel hosting providers don't provide access to terminal
2. vps hosting has become very cheap in these days

Recommended Hosting Providers

I have used 100s of providers and here i am trying to list hosts which are good as per my experience

and there are some branded hosting providers which are expensive and there are some unknown/less-known hosting providers who provides exceptional service and support at less price.

SSD Nodes :

after using digiltaocean for mission critial projects for many years.... i took bold step of moving to other hosts and i finally settled with SSDnodes.

personally i prefer their performance series where you get NVMe storage instead of SSD.

Pros:

• NVMe storage option
• Very affordable price
• Good UI, dashboard

Cons:

• yearly and 3 year plans are cheap (i.e. higher lock period)
• no extra ips

ImpactVPS :

for our testing, staging projects.... i wanted to use a service which is more flexible and cheaper.

best thing about ImpactVPS is resource pools...where you can buy a package and create many vpses from from it and create/delete as you need.

Pros:

• resource pools
• Very affordable price
• multiple datacenter locations
• they offer many ips to use

Cons:
