Hosting for Laravel

Among 20 makers' products we track that are built with Laravel, here's what they chose for hosting — each counted from a live-product source.

What shape is your app? A frontend or serverless app fits a frontend cloud. Long-running servers, background workers and databases fit a PaaS or container platform. A hyperscaler cloud has every building block but leaves you to assemble them; a platform or framework that deploys into your own cloud account sits between, with platform-style deploys and the resources on your own cloud bill.
