Why Ultra Moodle Hosting

Built for the LMS workload.

Six Moodle essentials, included on every plan. No "managed LMS" upsell.

PHP 8 + MariaDB

The full Moodle 4.x system requirements out of the box. PHP 8.x with OPcache, MariaDB tuned for InnoDB row-level locking, UTF-8 default everywhere.

Softaculous 1-Click Install

Install Moodle from cPanel with a single click. The installer creates the database, sets the admin account, configures language packs, and writes config.php so you can start building courses immediately.

Multilingual Support

Moodle ships with 100+ language packs and our MariaDB servers are UTF-8 by default. Multilingual courses, RTL languages, and non-Latin character sets render correctly without manual collation tweaks.

Cron Job Support

Moodle's scheduled tasks need a recurring cron job (every minute recommended) for course completions, notifications, backups, and cleanup. Every Ultra plan supports cron at any interval from cPanel.

24/7 Support

Our support team is available around the clock for server config, PHP settings, database tuning, and general Moodle troubleshooting. We have been hosting LMS deployments since 2002.

99.9% Uptime

99.9% uptime guarantee on owned hardware, with RAID-protected storage, UPS power, on-site technicians, and a multi-carrier Cisco backbone. Your courses stay reachable when students need them.

The Moodle stack

Moodle 4 ready, day one.

Every Ultra Moodle plan ships with PHP 8.x, MariaDB, OPcache, Softaculous, and the cron support Moodle needs preconfigured. Your LMS lands fast, with the database, file storage, and HTTPS already set up for course management, quizzes, gradebooks, and student tracking.

Hosting LMS installations since 2002.

An LMS host for schools, universities, and training.

Moodle is the world's most popular open-source learning management system, used by schools, universities, corporations, and training organizations to deliver online courses, quizzes, assignments, and collaborative learning activities. It supports SCORM packages, grade books, completion tracking, badges, forums, wikis, and a large plugin ecosystem that extends its functionality for just about any learning scenario.

Ultra Web Hosting provides the server environment Moodle needs to run smoothly. Every shared hosting plan includes 1-click Moodle installation through Softaculous, along with the PHP, MariaDB, and storage that Moodle requires. Our Nginx reverse proxy and CloudLinux isolation keep your LMS responsive for your learners.

What you get on every Moodle plan

The plan ships with 1-click Softaculous Moodle install, PHP 8.x and MariaDB, cron job support, free SSL, free CloudFlare CDN integration, free Moodle migration on annual plans, and a 12-minute average support response. Whether you're running a small classroom pilot or scaling up to a university-wide deployment, the same server fundamentals apply.

Built for E-Learning concurrency

Moodle is database-intensive, especially when multiple students are submitting assignments, taking quizzes, or loading course materials at the same time. Our MariaDB tuning, OPcache, and CloudLinux resource isolation handle concurrent users and keep page loads snappy. The 50 GB SSD storage with unmetered bandwidth gives you room for course materials, uploaded assignments, SCORM packages, and multimedia content without overage surprises.

Security for student data

Student data, grades, and login credentials need encryption. Every domain gets a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automatically, so your Moodle instance runs over HTTPS from the moment it goes live. CloudLinux CageFS isolates your account from neighbors on the same server, and Imunify360 (on Pro and VPS plans) adds a hardened WAF, real-time malware scanning, and login brute-force protection.

Free Moodle migration

Already running Moodle elsewhere? We migrate your entire Moodle installation for free with annual plans, including the database, moodledata directory, uploaded files, and Moodle configuration. We stage the new copy on a temporary URL so you can verify courses, gradebooks, and user accounts before cutover, then coordinate the DNS switch to minimize downtime.

23 years of hosting experience

Ultra Web Hosting has been in business since 2002, hosting LMS installations on owned hardware in our own datacenter. Our support team is staffed by people who actually run sites in their day-to-day, not a call center reading scripts. When you open a ticket about a PHP setting, database connection, or Moodle plugin conflict, an Ultra technician with hands-on experience answers it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions our sales team gets about Moodle hosting every week. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.

Can I install Moodle with one click?

Yes. Softaculous in cPanel installs Moodle with a single click, including database creation and initial configuration. The installer handles the schema, admin account, language pack, and Moodle's config.php so you can start building courses without manually editing files.

What Moodle versions do you support?

Our servers run PHP 8.x and MariaDB, which meet the system requirements for Moodle 4.x (the current LTS line) and earlier 3.x releases. CloudLinux PHP Selector lets you switch PHP versions per-domain if you need to keep an older Moodle install compatible.

Is shared hosting enough for Moodle?

For small to medium deployments with up to a few hundred users, shared hosting works well. For large institutions with thousands of concurrent learners, a VPS or dedicated server will provide better performance, more PHP workers, and dedicated CPU/RAM for the database.

Can you migrate my existing Moodle site?

Yes. Free migration is included with annual or longer hosting plans. Our team transfers your files, moodledata directory, MariaDB/MySQL database, and Moodle configuration. We stage the new copy on a temporary URL so you can verify courses, gradebooks, and uploads before cutover.

Does Moodle hosting include cron job support?

Yes. Moodle's scheduled tasks require a recurring cron job (recommended every minute) to process course completions, send notifications, run backups, and clean up temporary data. Every Ultra shared plan supports cPanel cron jobs at any interval you need.

Does Moodle support multiple languages?

Yes. Moodle ships with 100+ language packs out of the box and our MariaDB servers are UTF-8 by default, so any language Moodle supports works correctly on Ultra hosting. Multilingual courses, RTL languages, and non-Latin character sets all render properly.

How much SSD storage do I get?

50 GB SSD storage on every shared plan with unmetered bandwidth. That covers course materials, uploaded assignments, SCORM packages, video content, and the moodledata directory for typical school deployments. VPS plans scale to hundreds of GB if you need more.

Is SSL included for Moodle?

Yes. Every domain gets a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate with auto-renewal. Student credentials, gradebook data, and any personal information stay encrypted in transit. Moodle 4.x requires HTTPS for many features and our SSL setup activates automatically.

Will Moodle scale for large classrooms?

Moodle is database-intensive when multiple students submit assignments, take quizzes, or load course materials at the same time. Our MariaDB tuning, OPcache, and CloudLinux resource isolation keep page loads responsive under concurrent load. For very large institutions, our VPS plans give you guaranteed CPU/RAM and root access.

Do you offer 24/7 support for Moodle?

Yes. Our support team is available around the clock for server configuration, PHP settings, database tuning, and general Moodle troubleshooting. We have been hosting LMS installations since 2002 and have seen most of the common Moodle issues.

What is your uptime guarantee?

99.9 percent uptime guarantee on every plan, backed by owned hardware in our own datacenter, RAID-protected storage, UPS power, and on-site technicians. Network monitoring runs 24/7 and we have a multi-carrier Cisco backbone for redundancy.

What is your refund policy?

Ultra Moodle hosting includes a 45-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund through the client area within 45 days of signup for a full refund on the hosting service. Domain registration fees are non-refundable since they're paid to the registry on your behalf.
