At a glance
Moodle here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- Moodle is the standard open-source learning management system: courses, quizzes, grading, and every student interaction logged. Schools and training companies run on it, and it works the server hard.
- What we install
- The playbook deploys the current Moodle on PHP 8.x with the required extensions, a tuned MariaDB, HTTPS forced, the Moodle cron running every minute as it requires, and Redis wired as the application cache when selected.
- What managed covers
- PHP, database, and server updates; daily snapshots plus optional Dual Backups of courses and student data; monitoring through enrollment spikes; the managed firewall and mail delivery for the notifications students actually need to receive.
- What it needs
- 2 GB RAM
Fits on SC-2GB, from $6.67/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.

Three ways to run Moodle.
Installing Moodle is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.
| Do it yourselfOn any unmanaged VPS | One-click imageAt most clouds | RemarkableCloudManaged Moodle, from $6.67/mo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installing Moodle | You: dependencies, database, HTTPS | Preinstalled once, then it is yours | Deployed by a tested playbook, database and HTTPS wired |
| Updates | You | You | Us, with a snapshot first |
| Monitoring and security | You | You | Us, 24/7: monitoring, firewall and IDS |
| Backups | You | Usually a paid add-on | Daily snapshots included, Dual Backups optional |
| Other apps on the server | Yours to wire up | One app per server | As many as fit, $0 each |

Built for
What people run on Moodle here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
School and university courses
Assignments, quizzes, grades and cohorts, the full LMS, on infrastructure the institution controls.
Corporate training and compliance
Track completions and certifications privately. Your HR data never lives on a third-party learning cloud.
Paid course businesses
Enrolment keys and payment integrations turn Moodle into a course storefront without a per-student platform tax.
Exam-heavy programs
Concurrent quiz-takers are the real load spike. Dedicated CPU and a right-sized plan keep exam day calm.
Stack it
Moodle works better with company.
Everything here can run on the same server as Moodle, at $0 per app. The server only needs the room.
Pick your server
Choose the size. Moodle is $0.
Moodle needs 2 GB. Bigger servers leave room for the apps you stack beside it. Every size is fully managed, and you can resize in minutes.

The details
Moodle here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed Moodle hosting include?
A Moodle installed to the project's own checklist, cron and all, plus operations: tuning, SSL, backups covering coursework, monitoring, and mail that reaches students. Moodle punishes neglected servers with slow quizzes; ours are not neglected.
Why is Moodle demanding to host?
Because everything is dynamic and logged. Fifty students submitting a quiz at the same minute is a database event, not a caching event, which is why our playbook tunes MariaDB for it and wires Redis for the caches Moodle can offload. Enrollment day is a spike we monitor for.
Can Moodle share a server with other apps?
Yes. Redis is practically mandatory and it is $0 in the catalog, Uptime Kuma watches availability from the inside, and a BookStack next to it makes a tidy staff handbook. Same server, same bill.
Will you migrate my Moodle?
Yes, free, including moodledata. We move the code, database, and file store, run the upgrade path if versions differ, and you verify courses and grades before DNS moves, scheduled between terms if you want.
FAQ
Moodle hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does Moodle need?
2 GB is the floor for a small site. Plan roughly by concurrent users: a few hundred active students want 4 to 8 GB with Redis. The sizing calculator will place your enrollment.
Is the Moodle cron handled?
Yes, configured as a real system cron on the schedule Moodle requires, and monitored: a stalled cron is an alert on our side, not a mystery on yours.
Where does student data live?
On your server, with daily snapshots, and backed up to two offsite destinations daily if you add Dual Backups. Nothing about your students transits a third-party LMS cloud.
How many concurrent students fit?
RAM is the lever: a small cohort runs on 2 GB, and heavy simultaneous quizzes want more. Resizing is minutes, so start where you are and grow with enrolment.
Do plugins and themes survive updates?
Yes, your Moodle code and moodledata persist across updates. Third-party plugins still need versions compatible with new Moodle majors, same as any install.
Is this Moodle on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Moodle runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Do you migrate my existing Moodle?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Moodle runs. You sleep.
