Web hosting or a VPS for Laravel?
A Laravel app that answers web requests runs on web hosting. Queue workers, WebSockets and Octane need a server of your own.

Starting points: Laravel publishes software requirements rather than server sizes. Your own code, the database and the queue decide the load.
Everything a Laravel app needs
Deploy on web hosting with a control panel, and move to a server when the app needs workers of its own.
Start on web hosting
Our Linux web hosting runs PHP sites on LiteSpeed and NVMe storage, with free SSL and a control panel such as cPanel or Plesk.
The PHP version you need
Choose the PHP version per domain and turn on the extensions the system lists, on web hosting or on your own server.
The scheduler as a cron job
Run schedule:run every minute from your control panel’s cron jobs, or from crontab on your server.
Queue workers on a VPS
Keep queue workers, Reverb and Octane running under Supervisor or systemd on a server of your own.
HTTPS on every page
Free Let’s Encrypt certificates for your domain, so every page, from the login to the checkout, loads over HTTPS.
Staging next to production
Run a copy of the site on a second subdomain to test updates, themes and extensions before they reach your visitors.
Root access, your rules
Every Linux VPS, VDS and dedicated server comes with full root access: you choose the versions, the add-ons and the security settings.
Room to grow
Start on a VPS and move to a bigger plan, a VDS with NVMe storage or a dedicated server when your data and users grow.
Deploy Laravel in four steps
Order the app preinstalled on your server, or install it yourself with our guide.
-
Choose your plan
Pick Linux web hosting for a small or medium site, or a VPS in the size from the table above for a busy one.
-
Point the domain at public
Set the document root of the domain or subdomain to the project’s public folder.
-
Upload and configure
Upload the project with its vendor folder, create .env with the database details, then run key:generate, migrate and optimize.
-
Add the scheduler
Add a cron job that runs php artisan schedule:run every minute in the project folder.
Step-by-step setup guides
Install, secure and update the app with our guides, written for current Ubuntu and Debian releases.
- Install Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Moodle or Laravel on web hosting
PHP applications install the same way on web hosting: the right PHP version, a database, the files in the right folder and the web installer. This guide gives the shared steps and the extra steps each application needs.
25 min Beginner - Change the PHP version and PHP limits on web hosting
Each site can run the PHP version it needs. Set it per domain, enable the extensions your application asks for and adjust the PHP limits for uploads and memory, then check the result.

Learn moreFrequently asked questions
Can Laravel run on web hosting?
Yes. Point the domain’s document root at the project’s public folder, upload the project with its vendor folder and add the scheduler as a cron job. Choose a VPS for queue workers that run all the time, Reverb WebSockets or Octane.
Which PHP version does Laravel 13 need?
PHP 8.3 or newer; Laravel 13 supports PHP 8.3 to 8.5. Set the version for the domain in your control panel and turn on extensions such as mbstring, openssl, pdo, tokenizer and xml.
How do I run queued jobs on web hosting?
Process the queue from the scheduler with queue:work and the --stop-when-empty option, or use the sync queue driver for light work. Workers that run all the time belong on a VPS, under Supervisor or systemd.
Do I need SSH access?
It helps, for Composer and Artisan commands. Without SSH, run composer install on your computer, upload the whole project with the vendor folder, and run the Artisan steps you need from a cron job or a VPS.
How long is Laravel 13 supported?
Laravel 13 was released in March 2026. It gets bug fixes until the third quarter of 2027 and security fixes until the first quarter of 2028.
Why does my Laravel app show a 500 error?
Check storage/logs/laravel.log. Common causes are a missing APP_KEY, a storage or bootstrap/cache folder that is not writable, a missing PHP extension, or a document root that does not point at the public folder.
