title: Hosting a Laravel App on a Virtual Server
body: <p>Forgive me if this would have been better placed somewhere else on the stackexchange network but I have seen a few Laravel questions being asked here so thought it would be OK.</p>
  
  <p>Anyways...</p>
  
  <p>I have a Laravel app which I want to get online and found some hosting here: <a href="https://www.server4you.net/virtual-server" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.server4you.net/virtual-server</a></p>
  
  <p>The pricing is really good and there is root / SSH access. As I dont know if my web app will be a financial success I dont wanna go all out on a  dedicated server but also don't mind migrating it at a later date (I know this will be a pain!)</p>
  
  <p>I have seen a few people online recommend against using a VPS / shared server for a laravel app...my question is why?</p>
  
  <p>If the servers can perform as advertised then this should be good?</p>
  
  <p>I have never bought a vps or uploaded my own Laravel project to a server before so I feel like I should ask these questions now before I realise I have shot myself in the foot somehow way down the line...</p>
  
  <p>Cheers!</p>
