Who is this service for:
If you don't want the high cost of purchasing and maintaining a dedicated server. If you like the benefits of having a PBX server in a datacenter with ultra high speed internet backbone connections and uninterruptible power. If you do not want to deal with installing Linux, Asterisk, FreePBX and figuring out how to make it all work. If you want a simple backup and re-install solution that only requires a few clicks of a mouse. If you do not want to have Router/NAT issues trying to get extensions and trunks working. If this sounds beneficial then the PowerPBX Virtual Private Server may be perfect for you.
Here are some examples of the services we offer:

Here are some things we do not provide or will charge an hourly fee for:
- Hardware connections to the telephone networkConnections to the telephone network (so you can get a telephone number and make/receive calls to regular phones) are done using 3rd party SIP/IAX trunk providers of your choosing. As long as they are compatible with Asterisk/FreePBX they will work on our system.
- PBX AdministrationIf there is sufficient interest we may consider adding this service in the future
- Install/configure additional software.
- Troubleshooting problems with above distributions. Refer to their respective websites for support.
- Authoritative DNS for your domainA domain is not required to use an Asterisk PBX. The options are as follows. You can simply point phones/browsers to the IP we assign to your server. You can use a free service like dyndns.org. You can point an existing domain to the IP we assign to your server. You can register a new domain with any 3rd party domain provider. You can add a hostname to an exist domain and point it to the IP we assign to your server. For example, create a new hostname called "pbx" in the DNS settings for your domain, point that hostname to the IP we assign to your VPS and access it by using "pbx.mydomain.com"
