 We enjoy a well-earned reputation as a provider of the highest quality Moodle hosting services for our clients. All of our hosting accounts are installed on dedicated, Moodle-optimized servers at our state-of-the-art data center in Dallas, Texas. We encourage all prospective clients to compare hosting policies and discover how our expertise can provide both reliability and value.
Each of our dedicated and shared servers is expertly configured by our staff to run Moodle efficiently, while also providing many value-added services. For example, we employ and regularly update a security firewall on each server that we configure for use with Moodle. Our staff also install server software such as GNU Aspell on each of our Moodle servers. We also configure Aspell for use with each Moodle hosting account in order to enable spell-checking in the standard HTML editor used by Moodle. We can also recommend fully tested and reliable third-party Moodle modules and plug-ins. The free technical support we provide with each hosting account allows clients to request the installation of up to three third party modules at no additional cost.

- Discussion Forum: Allows collaborative organization and communication among learners, regardless of time or location. Forum discussion posts and replies also allow one to attach a file up to 10MB in size, making it easy for students to share files with other course participants.
