I'm looking to set up a moodle LMS which is hosted/connected independently to web ( rather than through a moodle partner ) 

My present experience of moodle partners so far is that they wont let you access all areas of the LMS , for various reasons, including cybersecurity concerns  (  & partly for commercial reasons I suspect )

Is anyone able to recommend any UK based IT companies/individuals who can connect my moodle platform securely to the internet and provide a hosting support service too ?

Or are their certified moodle partners that let you self-host ?

hosting moodle on separate server is not big deal.. you can either use your own dedicated server or initially you can go with aws or azure. 

all three options are okay. you can also do one thing initially you can use free account of aws to setup your moodle instance ( for production site this might not work). you can always increase the size of your server as per your need.

The received wisdom seems to be that running Moodle on Azure is problematic.

Thanks for headsup Howard.

I use AWS for other purposes ( hosting scorm zip files for direct access ), AWS may be the way forward ?
