We are delighted to announce the introduction of our starter support and Moodle staging sites, now available with our standard Moodle hosting plans.

In addition to our hosting features that include daily server backups, 24/7/365 security and SLA uptime guarantee, our starter support helps our clients with the implementation of their Moodle site and gives them the opportunity to ask initial queries or address any issues that may arise. This is beneficial for those starting out with Moodle through to those migrating their existing site from another supplier.

Additionally, the new staging site provides clients with a safe environment for them to test aspects of their site (such as configuration changes and version upgrades) before committing the changes to their live site.

Ray Lawrence, HowToMoodle’s director, comments; “We have developed our existing hosting service to ensure that we are doing what we can to help our clients get up and running quickly and in the right direction. Providing these extra features helps our clients form an overall picture of how their live site will look, with some additional support to ensure they get on the right track.”

HowToMoodle offers a range of cost effective, flexible hosting options, from basic plans for those with a small number of learners and storage requirements, through to dedicated hosted solutions for larger organisations with more extensive requirements. There is also a Pilot plan* for evaluation and small scale pilots (clients can upgrade to a full plan at anytime).

Our hosted servers are located in an ISO 27001 secure environment in the UK, with 24/7/365 security, N+1 generators, and diverse fibre entry routes to ensure the security and uptime of our client’s sites.

As part of our managed hosting service, clients can also take advantage of our Moodle upgrade package, in which they benefit from regular upgrades to the latest stable Moodle version, all handled by the HowToMoodle team. The added benefit of receiving a fully managed hosted solution means that our clients can focus solely on their Moodle project with peace of mind that their site is in the right hands.

*Starter support and staging sites are not available on the Pilot plan.
