Questions
What exactly do I get?
A server of your own, rented from Contabo in the location you choose, with Moodle or IOMAD installed and set up by us. We then keep it updated, backed up and monitored for as long as your plan runs. You get full Moodle administrator access.
Can I add plugins and themes?
Yes. Tell us which ones you want, we check they work with your Moodle version, and install them for $15 each. A free theme, or one you have bought, is installed with your site.
Do I get root or SSH access?
No. Because we are responsible for keeping the server secure and up to date, we keep the root login. Your team gets full Moodle administrator access, which is everything you need to run your site.
How many users can my site have?
As many accounts as you like. What a plan limits is how many people use the site at the same moment. Each plan shows our estimate, and you can move to a bigger plan later.
How long does setup take?
Most sites are ready within 2 working days, India time, after payment. A person checks every order first. A move from another host depends on when we receive your site's export.
Can you move my existing site?
Yes, from MoodleCloud or any other host. A move is free on 12-month plans, including the step up to Moodle's current long-term support version. Otherwise we quote it first.
What about Moodle version upgrades?
Security and minor updates within your version are included. A version upgrade, such as 4.5 to 5.0, is $90 a step, and moving to the next long-term support version is free on 12-month plans.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
In US dollars by PayPal, for a month, 6 months or 12 months. You can cancel any time, and your site runs to the end of the period you paid for. The terms explain refunds.
Is HND Hosting part of Moodle?
No. HND Hosting is an independent service of Hooknot Digital, run by Rohin Grover. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by Moodle Pty Ltd.
