With so many cloud providers to choose from like Google Compute Engine, Amazon Web Services, Vultr, DigitalOcean etc. A safe bet for a beginner would be a cloud host provider that :

Has a reliable infrastructure. Has affordable bandwidth solutions for a startup. And has a good number of data-centre locations.

DigitalOcean is one of those reliable cloud hosting infrastructure. It is an affordable cloud provider, has a reliable infrastructure, provides you with cheap bandwidth solutions and has 7 datacentre locations to choose from. All of this makes it a best choice to host your new Laravel based application on it.

However, it is a bit difficult to get along with hosting Laravel on Cloud as it involves technicalities that are hard to get by. What if a Cloud Hosting Platform made it easier for you to host a managed Laravel application on top of a DigitalOcean cloud, bypassing the technicalities involved?
