Thanks for your blog post, I have a couple of questions though 😉
How about the symbolic link to the
storagedirectory? Most shared hosting providers don't allow the creation of symbolic links.laravel.com/docs/5.8/structure#the...
And this seems to work perfectly for new installs, what would you suggest the flow would be for updates that require DB migration?
You are right, not all shared hosting providers allow creation of symbolic links so I have mostly just uploaded my public files to public_html by changing root path in filesystem config.
For update on db migrations... You will probably need a sql script to alter your tables or alter it manually using phpmyadmin.
A friend of mine recommended this package (github.com/kofoworola/route-commands); It let's you run artisan commands through web routes. Pretty neat 😇
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Hi, In my experience shared hosting is not recommended for Laravel. You can instead use cloud servers like Digitalocean, Vultr, Linode etc. Also if you are non-technical you can use managed solution like Cloudways.

Simple and easy process, but at todays age most people do not prefer getting into technicalities and focusing more on the business side (talking about the start-ups). So would do you prefer to them deploying on a shared hosting, or take the road of managed hosting, where there are just a few clicks and you are ready to deploy your site. Also, your data can be at risk on a shared hosting site. What do you personally prefer and why?
Shared hosting is a bad choice for laravel. Laravel is a framework , and like other framework such as wordpress, drupal etc, it require a powerful server. For example, it requires a good amount of RAM, disk space and a good processor speed. But shared hosting is bad in all the three.If you are not a technical person, you can also choose a managed service such as Devrims.
