Special Summer Series: Free Hosting – Gnomio

Part two of our Special Summer Series on free hosting services.

Up today is Gnomio, hosting that provides an up to date approach (but a load of advertisement space) to each Moodle installation.

According to the site here’s a bit about the people behind the service,

Gnomio is not a company. We are only a couple of spanish guys enjoying a unexpected success while spending our little time.  We are hosting over one thousand e-learning sites and we give service to tens of thousands of students at no cost.

The pros?  Gnomio is equipped with the MLE (Mobile-enabled) which you can utilize to provide some Mobile functionality from your Moodle site (more information is available at http://mle.sourceforge.com).

The cons?  in your face advertisements (example).
