Don't. Just don't
I promise you don't. Nothing makes me not want to live more than Moodle
How many concurrent users and what stack do you use?
Any Shared Hosting will run Moodle anyway ( http://installatron.com/moodle ). What issues did you run into with DreamHost?
If you were able to get it running on HMB's VPS, you probably can get it running on any other VPS.
I'll try again.
Awesome! I hope you manage to get it to work
If you want to try it on our Shared Hosting, shoot me a PM.
I can offer you 1 GB RAM and 20 GB disk space at $5/mo.
We can certainly assist you!
I have confirmed Moodle runs on out web hosting services, installed a copy to confirm - http://moodle.demo.podracks.co.uk/
Please let me know if you are interested.
Cheers!
We have VPS 2GB ram and 10GB SSD from $5/mo, or you can try our shared hosting for 2$. I think it's going to be enough for your Moodle.
Moodle on shared hosting is bad advice if it is active. Moodle uses 50MB of RAM per logged in user, it also does a LOT of MySQL queries as you should be running the cron every minute and it makes DB calls for each task to check if it should run.
I'd recommend sticking with a VPS.
Interestingly, I was able to install Moodle on my DreamHost account and restore the old site without any incident. Not sure why I had issues previously, but it's now a non-issue.
As to all the offers, I am still looking for a VPS host for some other small projects, so I will review these. Thanks!
OK, then can you suggest an alternative for providing interactive online course management? Moodle is the current chosen solution to a specific educational need. I certainly welcome your suggestions.
My college made the switch to Canvas however it's a SaaS not self hosted. I'd highly recommend it over Moodle
You can install it on our web hosting plans

With just one click using the on click installer
I don't know too much about this but Open edX seems like an alternative.
For few of our projects in Moodle we have used REMOVED FOR SHILLING they offered one click installer for moodle and support was friendly to assist with any difficult faced.
Please no. Moodle might be slow and badly engineered but it's still best in show for LMS selection.
@jbarr If you need a hand with anything let me know. I manage Moodle for a living (on top of my other duties).

Both unis I've been in the last year use Canvas. It is pretty damn nice, great integrations, tests, and code quality.
Open source - https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms - I have contributed to it. The SaaS/hosted part is optional.
I wasn't aware canvas was open source thats very good and I'd recommend it over Moodle
Anyone using open-edx (https://open.edx.org/) ?? Edx runs on this platform ( https://edx.org/). I have done few courses on edx and I liked the platform. Stanford Lagunita also uses open-edx (https://lagunita.stanford.edu/about)
