Hello all,


Would anyone help me? I am a new Moodle user. I need to know how to share my site and courses.


I cannot register my site because it says it needs a hub to be linked with. I tried to register my site with Moodle but it says i need a hub. I tried with the other option and it says error.


Help me please!!!


Kind regards

Your site looks to be only on your computer and it needs to be on the internet for others to access it. Why not get a free MoodleCloud site www.moodlecloud.com which is already online and set up for you?

Hi, thanks for your answer but I still cant upload my site to the web.


What am I missing?


How can I change the localhost/moodle for my moodlecloud site?


I already created a moodlecloud site.


Kind regards

If you got a MoodleCloud site then you need to backup your course which is on your local site (the one you cannot get online) and then you need to upload it into your MoodleCloud site. So you will not be using your own Moodle site because it is not on the internet  but you will be able to share your course with students because your course will be on the internet on your MoodleCloud site.

Here is a video showing you how to backup your course on your site (the one on localhost/moodle)


Here is a video showing you how to upload (we say "restore") your course to your MoodleCloud site so you can share it with others

Dear Mary,

I gladly thank you for your answers.

Last questions:

Can I start or create a new course directly from my MoodleCloud site and share it to my students? If so, will I be able to save the database?

What would be the difference between a course from the localhost and a course from the cloud?

Kind regards,
René Torres

Thanks very much.


Do I have to publish my course in order to allow my students to enroll? How can my students find my course??

No you don't have to publish your course in order to allow your students to enrol. Please see this blog post about What does Publish a course mean?

Rishabh - please read the documentation Admin quick guide and Teacher quick guide as they explain the difference between allowing users into your site (="authentication") and allowing users into a course (= "enrolment")
