Can you explain to me, exactly what's going on here?
Laravel performs best on a vps or cloud server. On cpanel based shared hosting servers, getting Laravel to work is not that easy. It requires htaccess rewrite as you have mentioned. On Laravel cloud hosting servers, you have access to SSH. So, you can use composer to install Laravel in just few minutes.
