Laravel Hosting India

A WebJi® Laravel account is a cPanel plan with a per-domain PHP version, a MySQL or MariaDB database, a cron entry for the scheduler, free SSL and NVMe storage, with the document root pointed at /public. SSH, Composer on the server and a process supervisor are not part of shared cPanel; apps that need them run on a VPS.

• PHP: version chosen per domain in cPanel, with OPcache on; the cPanel PHP version guide shows where.
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB created in cPanel and managed through phpMyAdmin.
• Scheduler: one cron entry each minute for schedule:run.
• HTTPS: free SSL, so APP_URL can start as https:// on the first deploy.
• Billing: INR invoice with 18% GST shown separately.

Shared cPanel suits a Laravel site that serves pages and writes to MySQL; a VPS is needed once the app depends on SSH, Artisan on the server, Redis or queue workers that must stay alive. The code is identical on both; what can run beside it differs.

Laravel-specific sizing is quoted in INR by email before payment. Send the Laravel and PHP versions, database size and whether you use queues.

Build locally, upload the project with vendor included, create .env with an APP_KEY, point the domain at /public, and add the scheduler cron.

1. On your machine, run composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader and npm run build.
2. Run php artisan key:generate --show locally and copy the key into the server's .env with APP_ENV=production and APP_DEBUG=false.
3. Create the database and user in cPanel and enter them in .env.
4. Build the schema: run migrations from your machine if the plan allows remote MySQL, or export the schema locally and import it through phpMyAdmin.
5. Upload the project, set the document root to public, and make storage and bootstrap/cache writable.
6. Add the cron entry below, then load the site over https and check the log in storage/logs.

* * * * * cd /home/USER/laravel-app && /usr/local/bin/php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Replace USER and the folder name; the PHP binary path can differ per version, and cPanel's cron screen shows the right one. The Laravel on cPanel guide walks through each screen, and crontab examples explain the five time fields.

It suits freelance developers, agencies and product teams shipping Laravel websites, admin panels and APIs for Indian users who want an INR invoice and a server in India.

• If the app renders pages and uses MySQL with little background work, then shared cPanel fits, because nothing needs to run between requests.
• If it is a queue-heavy SaaS, needs Horizon, Redis, Octane or root, then choose a VPS, because those need long-running processes.
• If the stack is Node or Python rather than PHP, then see Node.js hosting or Python hosting.

Existing apps can be migrated free, subject to terms and approval: files, uploads and database are copied, and you confirm .env, document root and cron before DNS changes. Support is by email at support@webji.services, 24/7 in Hindi and English.
