Yes.  I´m very interested in learning how to prepare my English courses in English.  Please let me know more. Where are you from? Do you speak Spanish?  How much it will cost?  When are you planning to start? etc.

Hi Hector,

Moodle Partners offer hosting and other Moodle services. http://moodle.com/partners/

Alternatively, you can look into buying server space and installing and maintaining Moodle yourself. This would require some technical expertise.

Mediatemple is, I believe, a good hosting solution and their GS server has apparently been used for Moodle hosting. This costs $20/month.

Mediatemple offers more advanced solutions as well. And so would other hosting providers. Some of them would be knowledgeable about Moodle and you can discuss your requirements with them.

Moodle installation notes are at http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Installing_Moodle

All the best,

Ravi

Hi Hector!

You might give http://cscampus.com/cloudmoodle/ a look. 

CSCampus provides users unlimited space to create any number of Moodle courses you'd like.  Rather than pay a monthly hosting fee, your cost is based on a daily user usage amount.  In effect, you only pay for what you (and your clients) use.
