Title: Choosing server resources for an online learning platform
Post by: tomamber on November 14, 2026, 02:25:13 AM
I'm helping a client launch an online learning platform built with Moodle. It will host course materials, quizzes, student accounts, and video lessons embedded from an external streaming service. We expect around 300–500 registered users initially, with approximately 50–80 active users at peak times. I'm thinking about starting with 4–6 CPU cores, 8–12 GB RAM, and 100 GB NVMe storage. Daily backups and DDoS protection are non-negotiable. Would hostpro.com (http://hostpro.com) be a good provider for this project, and are these server specifications reasonable for the expected workload?
