You need a web server of your own on the Internet to publish your app.

You can select one that suit your needs from a very wide range of services that rent you a web server, but probably a small and inexpensive VPS or a shared hosting will be the best choice for you now.

The rest of the process depends much on the service that you select. Usually it involves setting up of a linux server which requires you some knowledge.

[EDIT]

A shared hosting service is not very suitable for the app created with the advanced project template.

Check this section of the guide:

github.com

yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced/blob/master/docs/guide/start-installation.md#preparing-application

Installation
============

## Requirements

The minimum requirement by this project template is that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.

## Installing using Composer

If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), follow the instructions in the
[Installing Yii](https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/docs/guide/start-installation.md#installing-via-composer) section of the definitive guide to install it.

With Composer installed, you can then install the application using the following commands:

    composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced yii-application

The command installs the advanced application in a directory named `yii-application`. You can choose a different
directory name if you want.

It uses [asset-packagist](https://asset-packagist.org/) for managing bower and npm package dependencies through Composer. Also you can use [asset-plugin](https://packagist.org/packages/fxp/composer-asset-plugin), as in earlier versions, but it works slowly.

[s]Execute the init command and select dev as environment.
php /path/to/yii-application/init
[/s]

Otherwise, in production execute init in non-interactive mode.
php /path/to/yii-application/init --env=Production --overwrite=All

This will set up your app in the production mode.

As I said in the first reply, the installation process of your app to the production web server depends heavily on the environment of your hosting server. So, there’s no detailed guide for every specific hosting service.

But if your server is a VPS or a standalone server … I mean, not a shared hosting server … and after you have setup it to run apache (or nginx), php and db server like mysql or postgres, then the rest of the process is almost the same as you do in the localhost.

If your server is a shared hosting server, then you may want to read this:

Resolved ? OK, that’s good.
