Who builds and hosts Moodle in India?
Every Moodle service, under one contract
We build it, host it, upgrade it and keep it fast. There's no need for one agency for development, another for hosting and a third for support.
Moodle plugin development
Custom plugins written to Moodle coding standards, so they survive upgrades instead of breaking at every major release.
- Local, block, activity, auth, enrol, report and course-format plugins
- Web services and REST APIs for your other systems
- SCORM, xAPI and cmi5 tracking
- PHP 8.x, tested on Moodle 4.x and 5.x
Moodle theme development
Boost child themes that make Moodle look like your institution, not like a default install.
- Branded login, dashboard, course and admin pages
- SCSS and Mustache template overrides
- Mobile-responsive, built with WCAG 2.2 in mind
- Theme settings your admins can change themselves
Managed Moodle hosting
Dedicated, tuned Moodle servers in the region your data has to stay in, monitored around the clock.
- India: AWS Mumbai and India-based providers
- EU: Hetzner and AWS Milan, GDPR-ready
- North America: AWS Canada Central and US East
- 6-hourly encrypted backups kept in-region
Moodle upgrades & migration
Upgrades and moves are rehearsed on a staging copy first, so your live site changes only once everything passes.
- Moodle 4.x to 5.x, planned around the LTS cycle
- Plugin compatibility audit before the upgrade
- Migration from another host or another LMS
- Course, user and grade data moved and checked
Performance & exam-day scaling
Moodle that stays fast when everyone starts the same quiz at 10:00, which is when slow sites fail.
- Load testing for peak concurrent quiz attempts
- PHP, OPcache, MySQL/MariaDB and cache tuning
- CDN and media offloading
- Sites from 50 to 50,000 learners
SSO, HR & live-class integrations
Moodle connected to the systems your people already use, so enrolments and records stay in sync without manual work.
- SSO: SAML 2.0, OIDC, Entra ID, Okta, Google, LDAP, Shibboleth
- HRMS and CRM sync via APIs
- Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, BigBlueButton
- SMS and WhatsApp notifications
Moodle support & maintenance
An annual maintenance contract that keeps your Moodle patched, backed up and answered, so every ticket has an owner.
- Security patches and minor-version updates
- Plugin updates and compatibility checks
- 24/7 monitoring with proactive alerts
- Admin help and small enhancements
Complete learning ecosystems
For universities, the whole set of systems around Moodle, built to work as one.
- Moodle LMS + Nextcloud document repository
- BigBlueButton virtual classrooms
- PeerTube for self-hosted video
- SAML, LDAP and Shibboleth identity
Mobile app, proctoring & AI
Ready-made extensions from our own product line, so you don't have to build them from scratch.
- Branded Android and iOS app for your Moodle
- AI proctoring inside Moodle quizzes
- AI tutor and SCORM builder inside Moodle
- DRM-protected video and single-device login
Managers in control, reminders on autopilot
Default Moodle leaves follow-up to the admin. We set it up so managers can see their own team and learners are reminded in the channel they actually read.
Team reports for every manager
Each manager sees their own team in Moodle: who has completed, who is in progress and who is overdue, without asking the admin for an export.
Managers send reminders themselves
A manager can remind one learner or the whole team straight from their report, without raising a ticket.
Reminders that go out on their own
Reminders before the due date, on the due date and after it, with escalation to the manager and the head of department.
WhatsApp, SMS, email and Moodle notifications
Messages reach learners where they actually read them, including staff who rarely open email.
Your Moodle data stays where the law says
Sites hosted in a region keep their backups in that region too. Indian learner data stays in India, EU data in the EU, and North American data in Canada or the US.

- Built for India's DPDP Act
- Backups never leave India
- Low latency for learners across India
- Suits enterprises, universities and edtech
EU region

Default Moodle vs. Moodle run by EDZLMS
Out-of-the-box Moodle covers the basics. Organisations with compliance rules, HR integration, custom reports or exam-scale traffic outgrow it quickly.
Default Moodle, self-managed
- Manual enrolments and spreadsheet uploads
- A generic theme that doesn't look like your brand
- No sync with HR or student systems
- Reports pulled by hand every month
- Upgrades that break plugins
- Slowdowns at exam time, and nobody watching the server
Moodle built and run by EDZLMS
- Enrolments triggered automatically by HR events
- Branded Boost child theme, mobile-ready
- Two-way HRMS, SSO and CRM sync
- Scheduled reports delivered to managers
- Upgrade-safe plugins, tested on staging
- 99.97% uptime with 24/7 monitoring

Courts & judiciary
Moodle sites for Supreme Court and High Court judicial training in the Caribbean.
Enterprises

Can you upgrade our site to Moodle 5?

Can Moodle handle thousands of students taking an exam at once?

How is a Moodle project priced?
Projects are quoted at a fixed price against a signed specification. Hosting and support are annual plans. The main cost factors are the number of learners and exam-day peaks, the hosting region, the scope of custom plugins and integrations, and the support level.
