Online learning can get boring at times. Creating a professional website that looks beautiful and navigates smoothly is very important for engaging your visitors. That’s why, optimizing your Moodle LMS for best user experience is certainly worth the time. To get the best out of your learning platform, you need to choose a reliable Moodle hosting solution with enough resources to handle your specific needs.
It takes a single click to launch a new Moodle site. Management perks such as auto updates, cloning, and backups on demand are also included in your Moodle hosting plan.
Integrate Moodle with WordPress and WooCommerce to build an online store in less than 2 hours. Expert help is available whenever you need it. We can connect you with the right Moodle experts who can help you achieve your goals.
ScalaHosting has designed, built and managed a custom multi-cluster solution to host the learning management system (LMS) for the Commission of elections of the Philippines. It featured a fully interactive 3D model of the Vote Counting Machine (VCM) used in the Automated Election System of the Philippines. This allowed hands-on training to be performed at any time without the need for a VCM to be physically present. Due to the scale of resources needed to accommodate a high volume of concurrent users, the LMS needed an enterprise managed hosting solution which could quickly scale up to meet the growing demand and traffic spikes.
On the busiest days, the managed hosting cluster successfully served over 100 million visits.

A Learning Management System (also referred as eLearning platform) is a software application that serves teachers, schools, and all kinds of educational organizations. LMS apps help you set up courses, tests, and quizzes, configurable reports, custom certificates, and learning materials - all with zero technical expertise. Popular solutions, like the Moodle LMS, can really up your elearning game with magnificent layouts, course automation, and completion progress.
Moodle hosting is a type of web hosting service that is specifically optimized for LMS websites. The servers are packed with features that make launching and managing Moodle sites a child’s play. This includes perks such as a one-click Moodle installation, automatic updates, scalable resources, and more.
Moodle is the largest learning management system (LMS) nowadays, supported by almost all hosting providers.
The main difference between our Moodle-optimized packages is the web hosting environment. On the Start plan, your Moodle LMS will be hosted on a shared server, while the alternative is a cloud VPS. The latter is much preferred for the educational platform, as it comes with enough resources and customization control to realize any kind of project.
The Moodle code is written in PHP, so any Linux-based operating system will do just fine - whether it is CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, or any of the rest. While it’s not technically impossible to host the app on a Windows server, the configuration and management are much more complicated, so we don’t recommend this option.
If your project relies heavily on site speed, user experience, and rock-solid security, Moodle Cloud is definitely the right hosting solution. It is the only type of service that can deliver guaranteed & consistent performance, high security, and uninterrupted uptime at all times. On a shared server, your Moodle LMS website will share everything with hundreds of other accounts, which can lead to many disadvantages and growth barriers for your educational project. Learn more in the video below.
Once you pick the right hosting solution for your Moodle site – shared or cloud - choosing the actual plan is an easier task. If you are on a mission to grow your website and you choose the Moodle Cloud deal - you can simply check how many site visits you get in a month. If the number is less than 400 000, the Moodle Cloud VPS with 2 CPU cores and 4GB RAM should be sufficient enough. For more visits, you need to add an additional CPU core for every 200 000, ensuring the best possible environment for your Moodle LMS project
As with similar LMS apps, what makes Moodle hosting expensive or cheap is the type of service you choose to host it on. On a shared server, you should expect a price of around $5.95-$9.95/mo, while prices for a good VPS will start at around $29.95/mo. ScalaHosting always recommends a virtual server environment for LMS projects, just so you can be able to guarantee optimal performance and security.
ScalaHosting offers you to host your Moodle website on the AWS Cloud platform as well. The hosting service is managed by Scala, so you can focus on building and growing your educational website. The AWS partnership allows us to expand our network with additional data center locations all over the world, including Singapore, Mumbai, London, Frankfurt, Montreal, Virginia, Ohio, Sydney, and more.
If you already have a working Moodle LMS project with another host, ScalaHosting can help you migrate your data to our servers. We only need the login credentials for your old host, and our Moodle experts will take care of the rest. The process is quick, seamless, involves no downtimes, and comes absolutely free of charge.
Absolutely not. Our highly efficient support team will ensure the uninterrupted functionality of your project and that your visitors will not notice anything. The migration is a smooth process which is performed by trained website migration specialists. The whole process is effortless and hassle-free.
All our Moodle hosting plans are well-protected with SShield. The innovative monitoring system will keep an eye for any suspicious activities and notify you in case of threats. Furthermore, as this is a fully managed Moodle service, our experts can assist in every step of the way - server setup, hardware configuration, Moodle installation, backups, and whatever else you need.
In 95% of the cases the migration process takes less than 2 hours. The time varies depending on the size of the Moodle website and how much data we need to transfer.
The Moodle Cloud hosting solution is scalable with flexible resources. You can add more CPU cores, RAM and disk space with a single click and the resources are automatically upgraded within a minute. No need for account upgrades or server migrations - everything with your Moodle LMS project will stay as it is.
Technical support is available 24/7 with ScalaHosting. You can get instant assistance via our live chat, allowing you to talk to a technician in real time. Alternatively, you can open a support ticket from your client area with an initial response within 15 minutes. Оur support covers any issues related to our hosting platform or your Moodle services with us. Technicians are friendly and caring, helping you resolve any technical difficulties in a quick and efficient manner.
