Moodle VPS Hosting

Moodle is a free and open-source learning management system (LMS). With a Moodle hosting service, educators and administrators can get access to a robust, secure, and integrated system to create personalised learning environments.

The LMS is commonly used for collaborative learning, flipped classrooms, online courses, and other eLearning projects in schools, universities, and workplaces.

Moodle is an open-source platform, which means its source code is available for anyone to download, modify, and use. This contrasts with proprietary LMSs, where the source code is controlled by the organisation that owns it.

Due to its open-source nature, educational institutions or learners can tailor the platform to their unique needs. It supports a wide range of plugins and themes, enabling Moodle users to extend its functionality and alter its appearance.

If you’re a Hostinger user, installing the Moodle template on your VPS takes just a few clicks:

1. Log in to your hPanel account and navigate to VPS at the top bar.
2. Select the server you wish to use for the installation.
3. Under the OS & Panel section, click Operating System.
4. Select Applications, and choose the Ubuntu 22.04 64bit with Moodle template from the dropdown menu.
5. Click Change OS to install this template to your VPS.

Once finished, you will find your login details, including the login URL, username, and password.

Read our Moodle VPS knowledge base article for more information on how to access the LMS, configure its settings, create multiple courses, and customise your Moodle site.

At Hostinger, you can start small and scale to a higher VPS hosting solution once your Moodle site grows. This grants you access to more server resources and computing power to host more students while still maintaining seamless performance.

The best part? You can easily upgrade your plan in just a few clicks via your Hostinger account. And if something doesn’t work, our 24/7 Customer Success team is ready to support you.

Since we’re offering self-managed Moodle VPS hosting, you’re fully responsible for your learning environment.

In other words, you need technical expertise to perform tasks like server management, security configuration, database administration, error handling, and more.

Luckily, our AI Assistant can simplify some of these tasks for you. All you need to do is ask, and the tool will guide you through the whole process.
 

The recommended VPS specifications for Moodle hosting can vary widely depending on the number of users your site will host.

For small-to-medium-sized Moodle sites with up to a few hundred users, our VPS KVM 2 plan is the perfect fit. It comes with 2 vCPU cores, 8GB of RAM, 100 GB of NVMe SSD, and 8 TB of bandwidth.

If you’re running a larger site with several hundred to a few thousand users, go for the VPS KVM 4 package. This package offers a significant enhancement in resources, doubling every feature of the KVM 2 plan.

Whichever plan you choose, you’ll get a dedicated IP address to enhance the accessibility, security, and reliability of your eLearning platform.
