I'm not sure of any Moodle Partner who fits what you're looking for. But, at first glance I'd suspect you're looking for a Moodle HOST. This host would set up and troubleshoot your moodle install, but, allow you full admin rights over your install. (I think that's what you're referring to?)

My guess would be to contact any of the partners on this list: http://moodle.com/hosting/ and see if they can't assist you. In my own experience I can say that your web host is an integral part of any Moodle set up. If the host doesn't understand or support Moodle, your learning curve and responsibiblities are that much steeper.

I am looking for a moodle partner who will maintain all the technical issues associated with moodle hosting while I pay a subscription fee and am allowed to set up my program and courses as i see fit. Is there anything like this out there that I can acquired quickly.

As I mentioned in the article. The only legal way to obtain Win31.iso is to join the Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) or already have an existing copy of Win3.1.

To join MSDNAA see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/default.aspx

Good point... I did specifically mention a Moodle Partner - CRTeacher is one, but, neglected to mention their status.

It might also be a good idea to inform your users that the sites you list do nothing to support the ongoing development of Moodle. If everyone hosts their sites at 'free' Moodle sites, then Moodle will cease to exist.

The way Moodle is funded is by people working with Moodle partners (listed at Moodle.com) for hosting and support services.

Certainly, no one should ever pay a non-Moodle partner for Moodle services - this just lets companies profit off of Martin Dougiamas, et al. hard work without contributing anything back to sustain Moodle development.

Hey there! I just stumbled across your site and really like it. I think you might be interested in "logmein free". it's a remote access program that lets you access your home pc from work or vice versa - really great if you forget to print out a paper or something. just log into your home computer and email it to yourself!
