Is it possible to use Laravel 5.7 without running artisan serve?

Question

System administration

Hello!
I'm making a Laravel 5.7 site locally. XAMPP server on windows. The project folder has a public subdirectory with all the plug-ins. For example, the logo is located in c:\xampp\htdocs\site\public\images\logo.png. I start Laravel ( php artisan serve ) and I see this picture on the site 127.0.0.1:8000
In the code, it is displayed through or even Everything is ok. Although, if you look at the code, you can see that they are expected in the root of the site, and not in public: I do not understand this point.
<img src="{{asset('images/logo.png')}}">
<img src="/images/{{ $image->image }}"/>
<img src="https://site.ru/images/logo.png">
I copy the site to a hosting (virtual, not VPS) on Windows with IIS (there are no other options), I import the database, I prescribe web.config in the root of the site. I look at the site - the page is rendered without all the connected pictures, scripts and styles. Logically. But how to use the site if there is no way to run php artisan serve on the server? Or does Laravel fundamentally not work without it?
