How to install Laravel app to free web hosting?

I've been serving my Laravel app on my local machine (MAC OSX Maverick) via the php artisan serve command in the terminal.

How do I install it to my a free a hosting for testing? Technically, I only have a free web hosting account. This means I can't perform any command-line commands (SSH). Is there any simple way to install it? Can I just simply copy my Laravel app folder and put it on a web host?

Easiest solution: Deploy it to OpenShift using a Laravel QuickStart. OpenShift is free, gives you SSH access, and basing your app off the Laravel QuickStart should handle the more complicated configuration bits.

"Can I just simply copy my Laravel app folder and put it on a web host?"

Pretty much this is the answer. You can upload your entire Laravel application to your webserver, and it should work.

But I'll warn you now that without command-line access - your going to have issues in the future. Try and find an alternative host for your website that provides command line access
