host website
Hi, I have a website in Laravel and I would like to host it publicly to do some testing. Does anyone know a good platform?

If you need a quick cheap way to host LAMP for dev/testing that's easy you could go with a cheap shared host that allows ssh.
Check forums like webhostingtalk for companies with good rep and steep discount codes.
IMHO its nice to keep a "reseller" account handy so you can make isolated sub-accounts for experiments, side projects, friends, etc. with everything pre-configured, email, database, etc.
I say this as a dev with plenty of IaC and aws experience.
For Canada or NE USA I would recommend Crocweb (you need to send a ticket to enable ssh but they respond very quick). Honestly they have proven more reliable and faster on support than big-ticket "enterprise" tech firms that serve large companies.
