Moodle Migration Without the Data Loss Stories.
Every migration horror story starts the same way: someone copied files, crossed fingers, and found out later. We rehearse the entire move on a clone first — database, files, users, grades — and only cut over when the copy is proven. Fixed $300, whichever direction you are moving.
Four Moves, One Method
Pick your direction — the rehearsal-first method stays the same.
Host to host
Shared hosting to VPS, cPanel to cloud, old provider to new. Full database and moodledata transfer, cron and email reconfigured, DNS cutover in a quiet window.
Platform to Moodle
From Canvas, Blackboard, Kajabi and other LMS platforms: course content, question banks, users and grade history converted — see the dedicated guides below.
Version rescue moves
Stuck on a host that cannot run modern PHP? We lift your site to infrastructure that supports Moodle 4.5 LTS or 5.2, then upgrade safely on arrival.
What a $300 Migration Covers
Everything needed for a verified, working site on the other side.
- Full pre-migration audit: versions, plugins, data volume, customisations
- Complete clone rehearsal on the destination before any cutover
- Database, moodledata filedir and config transferred and verified
- User accounts, enrolments, grades and completion records preserved
- Cron, SMTP email and SSL reconfigured and tested
- Post-move checklist: logins, quizzes, file downloads, payments
- Old site kept intact as fallback until you sign off
Moving From a Specific Platform?
Dedicated playbooks for the common escapes.
Canvas to Moodle
Common Cartridge and QTI conversion, gradebook mapping, enrolment rebuilds. Our most rehearsed migration.
Blackboard to Moodle
Learn and Ultra course archives converted, Grade Center mapped to the Moodle gradebook, Building Blocks replaced.
Kajabi to Moodle
Own your courses outright: content, members and payments moved to self-hosted Moodle with 0% platform fees.
Migration Questions
How much does a Moodle migration cost?
A flat $300 for a standard migration, quoted in writing after a free audit of your site size and plugin count. Unusually large file stores or heavy customisation are quoted honestly before work starts — the price never changes mid-job.
Will we lose any student data or grades?
No. The zero-data-loss guarantee covers users, enrolments, grades, submissions and files. The move is rehearsed on a clone and verified against counts from the source before cutover.
How long does a migration take?
Most migrations complete within a few days including rehearsal; the cutover itself is scheduled in a quiet window and usually takes under two hours of restricted access.
Can you migrate our question banks and quizzes?
Yes — QTI and native question bank conversion is a standard part of platform migrations, including categories, feedback and question types that map cleanly. Anything that cannot map is reported to you before cutover, never discovered after.
What do you need from us?
Admin access to the current site (or a full backup), and access to the destination host. We handle everything else and keep you posted at each stage.
