Moodle Ready Infrastructure

Stable quizzes, faster pages, predictable peak performance

Moodle performance issues usually come from three places. heavy database queries, large file libraries in moodledata, and background tasks that compete for PHP workers. Yhost is tuned around those realities.

We run NGINX with PHP-FPM without Apache, isolate each Moodle site in its own PHP-FPM pool, and tune limits for uploads, memory and execution time. Scheduled tasks are configured so cron work does not drown your interactive users during peak hours.

Why Moodle Teams Choose Yhost

A practical platform for educators, agencies and businesses that need a stable LMS with clear performance boundaries and developer friendly operations.

Separate PHP-FPM pools per Moodle

Separate PHP-FPM pools per Moodle

Each Moodle site runs in its own PHP-FPM pool with independent limits. A heavy course import or a busy cron run will not steal workers from other sites on your account.

File delivery optimized for moodledata

File delivery optimized for moodledata

Moodle stores a lot of content. PDFs, SCORM packages, videos, assignment uploads. We tune NGINX for large transfers and can enable accelerated file delivery so PHP spends less time pushing bytes and more time generating pages.

Peak hour stability for quizzes and logins

Peak hour stability for quizzes and logins

During exam windows the load pattern changes. sessions, quiz attempts and writes increase. We tune PHP and database settings for stable concurrency and keep background task pressure under control.

  • NGINX and PHP-FPM without Apache
  • Separate PHP-FPM pool per site
  • Scheduled tasks runner configured

Moodle is a real application, not a brochure site. Get hosting designed for learning platforms with stable concurrency, large file handling and clean operational control.

Engineered for Moodle Workloads

Concrete features that matter for course delivery, quizzes, uploads and long term stability.

NGINX and PHP-FPM tuned for LMS

NGINX and PHP-FPM tuned for LMS

Fast request handling, stable worker behavior, and sensible defaults for Moodle. No Apache layer in front, fewer moving parts, cleaner performance under concurrency.

Separate PHP-FPM pools per Moodle

Separate PHP-FPM pools per Moodle

Each site gets its own pool and limits. This improves isolation and makes performance more predictable when one site runs heavy tasks.

Upload and media handling optimized

Upload and media handling optimized

Moodle lives on content. We tune upload limits and buffering so SCORM packages and large files do not fail mid transfer and do not overload PHP unnecessarily.

Backups designed for active platforms

Backups designed for active platforms

Daily off-site backups on eligible plans, with database focused safety for course content, user data and activity logs. Restore options through the control panel.

Cloudflare ready edge setup

Cloudflare ready edge setup

Protect logins, reduce latency globally, and offload static assets. Works well for institutions with distributed learners.

Database and session tuning for peak hours

Database and session tuning for peak hours

Quiz attempts and logins increase write pressure. We tune practical limits to keep the platform responsive and reduce slowdowns during busy windows.

What makes Moodle fast and stable in real life

Moodle performance is not one setting. It is the balance between PHP workers, scheduled tasks, database pressure and file delivery.

Separate PHP-FPM pools

Isolating Moodle sites into separate PHP-FPM pools creates clean boundaries. A heavy report, import, or cron run stays contained and does not cascade into other sites.

Scheduled tasks without user pain

Moodle depends on background tasks. We configure the runner properly so tasks execute consistently without stealing all interactive capacity during peak logins.

Large content delivery without PHP bottlenecks

Course platforms move a lot of files. NGINX is tuned for large transfers and can serve files efficiently so PHP is not stuck streaming downloads.

Edge acceleration and protection

Cloudflare integration helps with global delivery, caching of static assets, and login protection. This is especially useful for distributed learners and public facing academies.

Moodle Hosting FAQ

Yes. Moodle scheduled tasks are configured as part of the platform setup. This keeps notifications, cleanups, grading workflows and background processing running reliably.

Yes. Upload limits and buffering are tuned for LMS use cases. For heavy content libraries, higher plans provide more headroom and better throughput.

Concurrency depends on course design, quiz usage, plugins and content size. As a rule, if you run quizzes and many logged in users, choose a plan with higher PHP memory and more resources. Upgrades are available if usage grows.

Yes. Backup frequency depends on the plan. Higher tiers include off-site backups designed for active platforms with ongoing user activity.

Yes. SSL is issued and renewed automatically so logins and course access are encrypted by default.

Yes. Higher plans support multiple Moodle sites and keep them isolated with separate PHP-FPM pools. This is a practical setup for agencies managing several client academies.

SSH is available on eligible plans. It is useful for maintenance tasks, log inspection, and controlled deployments when you run Moodle in a developer workflow.

For Moodle, yes. Generic shared hosting usually struggles with scheduled tasks, file workloads and concurrency. This platform is tuned for those exact pressure points and focuses on stability during peak hours.

Your Moodle runs in a Germany data center with strong connectivity across Europe and a jurisdiction that fits many education and business compliance requirements.

Yes. You can upgrade from the client area when you add more learners, courses or content. The goal is to scale without rebuilding your stack.
