Why trainers pick Cloudzy

A lighter LMS, on a lighter host.

99.95% uptime

FAQ. Chamilo Hosting

Common questions, straight answers.

What is Chamilo and how does it differ from Moodle?
Chamilo is an open-source LMS used by universities, training organizations, and governments. It's lighter and faster than Moodle for many use cases, simpler course authoring, cleaner UI for learners, lower server requirements. Both are GPL/AGPL open-source. Pick Chamilo when you want fewer plugins and a more focused product.

How do I install Chamilo on a Cloudzy VPS?
Pick an Ubuntu plan, SSH in, install LAMP (`apt install apache2 mariadb-server php-* `), download the latest Chamilo from chamilo.org, run the web installer. Total time: about 20 minutes. We have a one-click LAMP image, then bring just Chamilo on top.

How many learners can I host?
1 GB RAM is enough for a pilot or one trainer; 4 GB serves up to ~200 active learners; 8–16 GB serves a department or training organization; 32–64 GB for thousands of concurrent learners. Resize live as enrollment grows, no rebuild.

Can I migrate an existing Chamilo site?
Yes. Chamilo migrates by copying the `app` folder (uploads, courses), dumping the database (`mysqldump`), and importing on Cloudzy. Most admins finish in an evening. Reach out via support if you hit any specifics, engineers, not bots.

Who owns the data?
You do. You're root on a Linux VPS, every learner record, every grade, every certificate sits in your MySQL/MariaDB and your `app` folder. Nightly snapshots are free. Move providers any time.

Can I install themes and plugins?
Yes. Chamilo's theme system uses CSS overrides, drop your custom theme into the right folder. The plugin marketplace is smaller than Moodle's, but the trade-off is fewer surprises and a more consistent learner experience.

How fast is provisioning?
Once payment is confirmed, your VPS is live in 60 seconds. Chamilo install on top is about 20 minutes (Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Chamilo).

Does Chamilo support video conferencing?
Yes. Chamilo integrates with BigBlueButton (open-source) and Jitsi for live classes. Spin up the BBB server on a separate VPS in the same region for clean separation. Alternatively, embed Zoom/Teams meetings directly in lessons.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, full refund, no questions asked. Run a real cohort, then decide if Cloudzy is the right host for the long haul.

Do you offer SSL?
Yes. Free Let's Encrypt SSL on every VPS `certbot --apache` in 30 seconds, auto-renewal on by default. Required for any LMS handling learner data under GDPR or similar.
