I just heard back from my ISP and here is a portion of their response:
"We do not provide VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) servers. If you are getting a timeout trying to perform some operation over HTTP, then we may be unable to offer a solution to this. You may want to check with Moodle developers/support if there is a way to break down the operations in question in separate processes -- more in count, but quicker to execute -- which could possibly help complete the installation. That way, you won't need to have your account moved."
Is there a way in moodle 2.4 to breakup the backup and restore operations so the hosted server does not time out?
