Hello, I want to migrate to Moodle 3.5 or 3.7. Which site do you recommend for hosting? I am currently with BlueHost but I am considering moving away from them.

Might you be able to tell us a bit more about how big your Moodle is (#students, #course, etc.) and something about who will be managing your server and Moodle? Do you currently have a hosted server, VPS, dedicated server with Bluehost? What are you trying to gain by moving away from Bluehost?
Re: Which sites host moodle
I am currently with BlueHost and the number of learners, they come and go as per course but right now we are under 50. I do not want to move away from BlueHost but a chat assistence we spoke to had told us that BlueHost does not host the later verisons (3.5 & 3.7) moodle. This was a total shock. BlueHost hosts everything for me.
Re: Which sites host moodle
Moodle has been more progressive than many of these "server" companies. For example, to run Moodle 3.7 your server needs php7. I don't keep track of all server companies, so I don't know who to recommend as a "hosted server." The typical solution is to run a VPS, which I believe Bluehost and many other companies provide. But running a VPS on your own is a bit more challenging, which is why I asked a little about who might help you, or if you are on your own?

Victoria, Just before replying, I tried installing moodle 3.7.1+ on BlueHost and it did installed successfully, you may have been trying installing from script installer, that may not have the latest versions (besides installing from script installer isnt recommended at all) - Their chat support is absolutely USELESS since EIG took over they moved their support to India and those guys dont have a clue what they are talking about, thank fully their service standards remain recommendable for me to stay, else I rarely use their support. So feel free installing moodle 3.7.x or any on their servers.
Re: Which sites host moodle
Cool, Usman. I was hoping that you would jump in. I think that you have success on Bluehost because they are running php7, and MariaDB 10.x?? Right?
Re: Which sites host moodle
Thank you for that. And you are very right, the chat support is very useless and they confused us further. We are sorted now.
