Moodle hosting

Moodle hosting that stays up when everyone logs in at once.

Schools, tutoring centers, and corporate training teams run Moodle on CCMS Hosting because it is tuned for how an LMS actually behaves: cron that never misses, caching that takes load off the database, and upgrades tested before they touch production.

Why it needs its own hosting

Managed Moodle hosting, run by people who run it every day.

Moodle is not a brochure website. Every learner action is a database write, a quiz submission is a burst of them, and a long list of background jobs depends on cron firing on time. A host built for static WordPress sites will run Moodle, but it will run it slowly, and it will usually fail on the worst possible day: the morning of an exam or an enrollment deadline.

We host Moodle for education and corporate training on managed Google Cloud infrastructure in the United States, configured for the application rather than left at stock defaults. If you already have a Moodle site, we move it for free and check it on a temporary address before DNS changes.

Cron that actually runs

Notifications, grading, enrollment sync, and report generation all ride on Moodle cron. We schedule it from the control panel at the interval Moodle expects and confirm it is running, so a stalled queue does not go unnoticed.

Peak-load behavior

Quiz windows and start-of-term enrollment create sharp spikes. Plans publish real CPU, memory, and storage limits and we cap sites per server, so a noisy neighbor cannot slow your learners down.

Upgrades without outages

Moodle upgrades interact with your plugins and theme. Staging environments let you run the upgrade against a copy of your site first, and a daily off-site backup is always behind you.

What you get

How we host Moodle

  • NGINX and PHP-FPM tuned for Moodle, with a PHP version matched to your Moodle release (7.4 through 8.3 available per site)
  • MariaDB with database tuning for large course catalogs and heavy log tables
  • Redis caching to take repeated lookups off the database, included on Professional and Agency
  • Cron scheduled and verified from the control panel
  • One-click staging to test upgrades and new plugins before production
  • Daily off-site backups, 7 to 90 days of retention depending on plan
  • SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI content run as they do on any standard Moodle install, with upload and timeout settings sized for course packages
  • Free SSL, Imunify360 malware scanning and WAF, and two-factor on the control panel
Which plan fits

Professional · $99/month

5 sites, 40 GB NVMe, 500 GB / month, daily, 30-day retention backups.

Redis caching and staging are what make Moodle comfortable: the first lowers database load, the second lets you test upgrades safely. That puts most Moodle sites on Professional.

Need more headroom? · Cloud VM 4 from $269/month

Large user counts, big course-file libraries, or a hard peak (an exam period, a certification deadline) belong on a dedicated Cloud VM 4 or larger, where the CPU and memory are yours alone.

Every plan includes free migration from your current host. We copy your site, you check it on a temporary address, and DNS moves only when you approve.

Questions

Moodle Hosting FAQ

Yes, and migration is free. We copy your Moodle code, database, and moodledata folder to our platform, bring it up on a temporary address so you can check it, and move DNS only when you are satisfied. We verify plugin compatibility for the PHP version it will run on.

Yes. SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI packages run on Moodle itself, so hosting them is a matter of the right upload, memory, and timeout settings, which we set when we configure your site.

Professional and Agency plans include one-click staging. Clone your site, run the upgrade against your actual plugins and theme, and only repeat it on production once it works. Every plan has daily off-site backups to fall back on.

Most Moodle sites fit Professional: Redis caching, staging, and 30-day backup retention are all included. A small pilot can start on Essential. A large or exam-driven deployment is better on a dedicated Cloud VM. We will tell you honestly which one you need before you buy.

CCMS Hosting runs and protects the platform. Moodle development, integrations, and training are handled by our parent company, Complete Content Management Services, Inc. at ccmssolutions.com.
