Hi there,
In addition to what KFSys already mentioned, I could add that you could try out the new DigitalOcean App Platform. You could take a look at this video here on how to deploy Laravel to the App Platform:
The main benefits of the new App Platform are that you would not have to do any server setup, and you could have out of the box automated deployments whenever you push code to your GitHub repository.

Hi @ahmedadelmywork,
Don’t worry, everyone starts from somewhere!
What you’ll need to do is, create a droplet, install MySQL,PHP, Apache or Nginx and then deploy your laravel application. It’s not that hard but for someone, without experience in this area it might seem overwhelming. Having said that, DigitalOcean have a great tutorial for exactly such cases. You can check it out here:
It will basically, lead you through the whole process of installing and configuring a new Laravel installation alongside Nginx, MySQL and PHP. You can replace the new installation with your own
Now, there is an alternative, You can use the Marketplace Laravel Droplet which you can find here:
It will deploy a ready droplet with everything installed in it. You’ll just need to replace the Laravel there with your own code.
