when you deploy you application on share hosting, you will pull project on public_html, so to access your website you need to add public , https://www.example.com/public, to resolve this you have to add file .htaccess on root directory which content:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 
#RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L] 
</IfModule>
