How to change public folder to public html in laravel 5

Question

I'm using a shared hosting which uses cPanel as its control panel and within the cPanel public_html is the default root directory, because of this I can't get my Laravel application work properly.

Is there any way to make Laravel use public_html instead of public folder?

public function register()
{   $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
