Moodle hosting for Australian trainers and schools

Moodle is a PHP and MySQL learning platform that also relies on a scheduled cron job to do its background work.

Our plans include all three, along with LiteSpeed and Enterprise SSD storage on servers in a Sydney data centre, so course material and learner records stay in Australia. Moodle is heavier than a typical website, so the plan guidance below starts higher than our other pages.

Included with every plan

  • PHP selector and multiple PHP versions
  • MySQL (MariaDB) databases and phpMyAdmin
  • Cron jobs for Moodle's scheduled tasks
  • LiteSpeed web server
  • Free SSL certificates
  • Hourly off-site backups
  • Email accounts on your own domain
  • Australian based data centre
Why host Moodle here

What your Moodle learning site gets

Learner data in Australia

Your Moodle site, its database and uploaded course files are stored on servers in a Sydney data centre.

Sized for Moodle

CPU cores and memory are stated on every plan. Moodle needs more of both than a brochure site, so we say which plans suit it.

Cron built in

Set up Moodle's cron job in cPanel so enrolments, notifications and clean-up tasks run on schedule.

Moodle hosting FAQ

Questions we get asked

Does Moodle run on your hosting?

Yes. Moodle needs PHP, a MySQL or MariaDB database and a cron job, and every plan includes all three. Use the PHP selector to choose the PHP version and extensions your Moodle release requires.

Which plan do I need for Moodle?

Moodle uses more CPU and memory than a typical website. A small site with a few courses can start on CP 5GB. If many learners will be online together, choose CP 15GB or CP 20GB, and for larger organisations a managed VPS is the better fit. Tell us your learner numbers and we will recommend a plan.

How do I install Moodle?

Create a database in cPanel, upload the Moodle package, create its data folder and run the installer in your browser. Then add Moodle's cron job in cPanel. Contact us if you would like guidance.

Is learner data kept in Australia?

Your Moodle site, database and uploaded files are stored on servers in a Sydney data centre. If you have a formal compliance requirement, confirm it with us before you order.

Can you move my existing Moodle site to Skyrack?

If your Moodle site is on cPanel hosting now, our team can migrate one cPanel account per hosting service free of charge. If it is on another kind of hosting, ask us and we will tell you what is involved. See how our migrations work.

Can I get a refund if it is not right for me?

If you ask within 30 days of placing your order, we refund your hosting payment in full to your original payment method. Request it by opening a ticket with our Accounts and Billing department. Domain names, SSL certificates and licences are not refundable. Refunds are subject to approval under our terms of service.

Not sure which plan suits your Moodle learning site?

Tell us what you are running and how busy it is, and our team will recommend a plan.
