XenoHost provides offshore hosting for CodeIgniter 4 applications, PHP websites, freelancers, agencies, and developers who may also need Windows/.NET hosting capabilities. It runs PHP on Windows Server/IIS and Linux/Nginx infrastructure, with support for PHP 8.1 through 8.4, Composer, MariaDB 11, phpMyAdmin, FTP, and SFTP. The product is a fit for teams that want current PHP versions and a choice between Windows and Linux environments rather than a narrowly specialized CodeIgniter service.

The plan structure covers six options across standard and Linux variants. Linux Starter costs $12 per month, while Starter costs $14 per month. Linux Pro costs $22 per month, and Pro costs $25 per month; both Pro plans include unlimited websites, databases, and email accounts, plus 3 GB RAM and 40 GB SSD storage. Nano and Linux Nano provide smaller allocations, with 512 MB RAM and 10 GB SSD storage. Every listed plan supports PHP 8.1–8.4, while the Linux plans add SSH and terminal access. The lower-cost Linux lineup is the clearest choice for developers who need shell access without the higher Pro price.

For deployment and maintenance, XenoHost combines documented Git deployment with automated backups and restore support. Free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, Cloudflare WAF, and DDoS protection cover important baseline requirements for public applications. Per-domain PHP version switching is useful when multiple sites have different runtime needs, and MariaDB 11 with phpMyAdmin supports conventional PHP application workflows. Choose XenoHost for CodeIgniter 4 projects that value PHP version flexibility, Linux tooling, and security basics. Consider another provider if you need a free plan, more than 3 GB RAM or 40 GB SSD storage, or a broader stated CodeIgniter version range.
