Hi there. You need to have Moodle 2.1 or later to be able to use a different theme for mobiles and for regular computers I am sorry. http://docs.moodle.org/21/en/Theme_settings

Hi Mary, I am using a Moodle Partner which has recently upgraded to 2.2.  In the course settings I don't see the 'Enable Device Detection' option described in the page you posted above.

That setting is in Settings>site admin>appearance>themes>theme selector, not in the individual course settings.

Am I correct then in assuming that I have to ask the host company if they have this set?

No -you don't need to ask the host company; you just need to ask the administrator of your Moodle - which is usually someone in the establishment and not the host company.
