Do any of you have similar experiences? Do you know why something like this happens? Thanks in advance. Average of ratings: -. Jump to You could also use a service like Cloudflare, this is a CDN and basic web application firewall so should help reduce the load on your server while speeding static assets, Cloudflare will block a lot of spam traffic and give you an easy way to block problematic IP addresses too.
Reading this thread, it occurs to me that there are similar problems throughout society. I sufficently disenfranchised year-old could spray grafitti on the school wall, or even try to burn down the school, or throw a brick of a bridge an cause a car or train crash.
The reason this does not happen is more to do with the fact with live in a civilised socitey than due to technical protections. In my experience having an actual person attempt to bring down the VLE is unlikely, but it is definitely far more likely to happen than burning the college down. A simple "lets all hold down the refresh button and see what happens" is all it takes and would usually have less severe repercussions for the students involved, if any at all.
We are dealing with the law of diminishing returns here though, e. You could hand it all off to an ISP by using a managed server solution, but that's not exactly cheap either. But big servers and lots of experience are far from free. Part of the problem is in the ambiguity of the word Free in the English language, it can mean free of financial cost or free as in freedom.
In my experience the Liberty offered by free software is at least as important as the lack of financial cost. I perhaps should not have referenced "open source" as such.
I was actually trying to make your second and third points. Re: "You could hand it all off to an ISP by using a managed server solution, but that's not exactly cheap either. I've been looking around for a better hosting provider for my demo Moodle because most shared hosting services don't support Moodle at all or not very well. That'll easily be sufficient for a few hundred students at a time or, if usage is light, many more.
Many ISPs will set up your server and even install software and web apps for you for a minimal charge They usually have images or installer scripts already set up. The cost is per hour of what you actually use and no more you don't pay for high latency like you do with dedicated servers.
Compare that to what it costs to buy content or hire a content developer and hire and train admin and teaching staff and the cost is hosting and support is negligible. Prices of VPS' seem to have come down significantly in the last couple of years. Is there a price war on between hosting providers? Anyway, it looks like now's a good time to shop around Another point worth making that often gets left out of the equation is that when you use a FOSS project like Moodle, you can join a huge community of practice.
You have access to the good will, generosity, and expertise of thousands of other Moodlers with a diverse range of interests, skills, knowledge, specialisations, etc. A very good solution that is inexpensive is BlueHost. I have used them for years. As an IT I love that you essentially get a sever that is yours to do with as you like; especially activating ssh.
Moodle is a one click install and easily updated, backed up, and maintained. Behind the scenes you have tools to secure as you see fit. If the shared server starts to bog then you can upgrade to a package that fits your needs. If your organization has another division that needs a web presence then just purchase the domain name and install, say, Wordpress. You get the idea. I don't know if it is faux pas to mention a host by name but I work with non-profits on nearly non-existant budgets to develop domains for there projects.
Lady is struggling to keep her house but she doesn't have monthly fees for the site so her work continues. I am not a reseller just found this fits alot of solutions similar to yours. You'll need a member of staff to dedicate some time to setting it up, installing Moodle, working out if it can be connected to the domain via LDAP for automatic authentication , MIS system for automatic enrolment , then coming up with a plan for how the system will be structured and rolled out across the organisation.
If you have a member of staff who has prior knowledge of Moodle and experience in this field then great, otherwise you'll need to hire. So again you've got to pay for staff time,. Then, as in the OP 's original post, things start to break as you scale up and someone has to work out how to fix it.
Now everyone in the organisation is suggesting that you ditch Moodle and move to a proprietary LMS. This is of course not a failing of Moodle in any way, my point was just as Richard put it above that Moodle is not a zero cost alternative to run at any significant scale. It's a horribly complex beast, and usually quicker to access moodle off site! Having said that, it has got a lot better since we installed a speed tester on it and discovered the server had a driver installed that twinned the network cards on it which was doing more harm than good and rejigged it.
And IT have installed faster links between certain infrastructure points.
