Open Source & R&D — Web Hosting Platform
Xera
A PHP-powered web hosting platform
A web hosting platform built with PHP and CodeIgniter, bringing hosting management, database operations, and external API integrations together in one system.
01
The challenge
Managing hosting services involves multiple moving parts, from database operations and service configurations to external integrations. Xera aims to bring these capabilities into a unified platform.
02
The approach
I use PHP and CodeIgniter to structure the application, MySQL for managing platform data, and JavaScript for interactive frontend functionality. The architecture also accommodates external API integrations and modular application workflows.
03
The outcome
A centralised hosting platform designed to simplify hosting management, organise backend operations, and provide a foundation for integrating additional services.
