Deploying Laravel on cPanel Shared Hosting - The Right Way

Stop struggling with shared hosting deployments. This guide covers .env setup, public folder pointing, queue workers, cron jobs and storage linking.

Laravel - cPanel

Introduction

Shared hosting is not always ideal for Laravel, but many client projects still need it. A reliable setup keeps the public directory exposed and application files protected.

Key Points

Implementation Notes

Upload the application outside public_html when possible, then point the domain document root to the public folder. Run composer install, configure .env and generate the application key.

SEO and Maintenance

Keep headings descriptive, URLs readable and meta descriptions specific to the user problem. Good technical content should be easy for people to scan and easy for search engines to understand.

Conclusion

Use cron for schedule:run, configure queue workers if the host supports them and run storage:link when public uploads are needed.
