Deploy a Laravel app on cPanel hosting

Run a server-rendered Next.js site on MdmHost cPanel hosting: build it, upload it, create the app in Setup Node.js App with a custom server file and restart.

Install a Node.js LTS release, keep your app running with PM2 across crashes and reboots, and serve it through Nginx with HTTPS.

Connect a remote Git repository to a Plesk domain, deploy automatically or manually with a webhook, set the deployment path and run build commands after each push.
Deploy a website with cPanel Git Version Control
Clone a GitHub or GitLab repository into cPanel with Git Version Control, pull updates, and deploy automatically to public_html with a .cpanel.yml file.
Host a Laravel application with Plesk Laravel Toolkit
Install the Laravel Toolkit in Plesk, deploy a Laravel app from Git, set the public document root and .env, run Composer, migrations, the scheduler and queues.

Publish a static website on cPanel hosting: build it locally, upload the output folder to the document root, set clean URLs, caching headers and HTTPS, and automate with Git.
Manage PHP dependencies with Composer in Plesk
Use the Plesk PHP Composer extension to install and update packages from composer.json, choose the PHP version, set environment variables, and run Composer over SSH.
