How to choose: registered accounts alone do not determine server size. Simultaneous activity, quizzes, plugins, background jobs and stored content affect performance. The use cases above are examples, not guaranteed learner capacities.

Unmetered data transfer: included with every Moodle plan. Server resources and network capacity still affect performance.

Prices are starting monthly prices in USD. Review the final total and selected options in checkout.

    User Feedback

    I have been using Big Blue Hosting with this hosting company since last 3 months without any problem. I have integrated it in my website using PHP API and everything works fine. Thanks for providing excellent hosting with Big Blue Button.

    Spent hours with IBM tech support and they could not solve the issue I was having. In less than 20 mins, Eugene solved the issue and had sites up and running again. Great work! Highly recommend his services.

    Worked with WebHostingZone for over 2 years now – they showed me a way from going to a $500 server a month to $180… always has been there to solve any issue. Definitely the best server administrator to date!

    John Vouros

    I have been with the owner for about a year now. He used to do some server adjustments for me when I was on another companies dedicated server. When he first told me that he could serve my sites I said no because it would have been a shared server structure. I used to be on one of those slow turtles and had a hard time in Admin with my WP site because the server was so slow. It took like 60 seconds to go to another page. That is why I changed to a dedicated server. When I finally did place a site with WebHostingZone I couldn’t believe it. I am now on a shared server and I have never never never seen my pages come up so fast. It’s like instantaneously. So how I feel is that there are some companies who are squeezing every profit out of the system they can. Then there are other companies like WHZ that truly care about the customer. Keep it up guys.
