Questions? Quick answers.
Built for the LMS workload.
Six things every Moodle course depends on, 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.
What your Moodle site runs on here.
Moodle is a database-heavy LMS with a few hard requirements. These are the numbers that matter, ready on every Ultra plan before you install.
Ready to teach on Moodle 4, day one.
Every Ultra Moodle plan arrives with PHP 8.x, MariaDB, OPcache, Softaculous, and the every-minute cron Moodle needs already in place. Your course site goes live quickly, with the database, moodledata storage, and HTTPS wired up for course delivery, quizzes, gradebooks, and learner progress tracking.
See what's included →When your course site needs help, a real person answers.
Moodle's every-minute cron, moodledata storage, and grading load all live on Dell PowerEdge hardware we own and staff on-site in the US. If enrollment spikes before an exam or a plugin misbehaves, our team replies to your ticket in about 12 minutes, not next business day.
Hosting course sites for educators since 2002.
An LMS host for schools, universities, and training teams.
Moodle is the world's most popular open-source learning management system, and teachers, professors, and corporate trainers lean on it to run online courses, quizzes, assignments, and collaborative activities. It handles SCORM packages, gradebooks, completion tracking, badges, forums, wikis, and a deep plugin ecosystem, so you can shape it around the way your program actually teaches.
Ultra Web Hosting supplies the server environment your course site needs to stay quick and dependable through the term. Every shared hosting plan installs Moodle in one click through Softaculous and includes the PHP, MariaDB, and storage Moodle asks for. Our Nginx reverse proxy and CloudLinux isolation keep pages loading fast for every student who logs in.
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 are piloting one course or running an LMS for the whole institution, the same solid server fundamentals carry the load.
Built for exam-day concurrency
Moodle leans hard on the database, and never harder than when a whole class submits assignments, opens a timed quiz, or pulls up course materials in the same few minutes. Our MariaDB tuning, OPcache, and CloudLinux resource isolation absorb that concurrent load and keep pages responsive. The 50 GB SSD storage with unmetered bandwidth leaves room for lecture materials, uploaded assignments, SCORM packages, and video content without overage surprises.
Security for student records
Grades, submissions, and student logins are exactly the kind of data that has to stay encrypted. Every domain gets a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automatically, so your Moodle site runs over HTTPS from the moment it goes live. CloudLinux CageFS walls your account off 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 teaching on Moodle somewhere else? We move your entire Moodle installation for free with annual plans, including the database, moodledata directory, uploaded files, and Moodle configuration. We stage the copy on a temporary URL so you can check courses, gradebooks, and user accounts before cutover, then time the DNS switch to keep learners out of the dark.
24 years of hosting experience
Ultra Web Hosting has been in business since 2002, running LMS installations on owned hardware in our own datacenter. Our support team is staffed by people who administer real sites every day, not a call center reading scripts. When you open a ticket about a PHP memory setting, a database connection, or a Moodle plugin conflict, a technician with hands-on experience answers it.
The three things a Moodle install actually needs, set up before you start.
Most struggling Moodle sites trace back to the same short list: a cron that never runs, PHP that runs out of memory, or a database that buckles under a class taking a quiz. Ultra has each one covered on the standard plan, so a school, university, or training team can install and open courses without a support ticket.
- Cron every minute, the way Moodle expects. Moodle's scheduled tasks are not optional. Schedule the Moodle cron every minute from cPanel so course completions, notifications, backups, quiz regrades, and queued email actually fire instead of piling up.
- PHP 8.x with real memory and OPcache. Moodle 4.x wants a modern PHP with generous memory for big gradebooks, backups, and course imports. You get PHP 8.x with OPcache keeping the code warm, and cPanel's PHP Selector lets you set the version and limits per docroot.
- MariaDB tuned for gradebook and quiz load. Grading, quiz attempts, and activity logs are database-heavy. Our MariaDB tuning and InnoDB row-level locking keep reads and writes moving when a full class is working at once.
- Object caching with Redis or Memcached. Point Moodle's application and session caches at Redis or Memcached to lift load off the database and speed up pages for signed-in students.
- One-click Softaculous install and free migration. Stand up fresh Moodle core in a single click, or let our team move an existing course site for free on annual plans, moodledata and all.
- CloudLinux isolation for steady performance. CageFS gives your account its own guaranteed CPU, RAM, and process slice, so a neighbor's traffic spike never slows down your exam day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What educators and course teams ask us 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.
