These server operating profiles are not a problem for general purpose users but often quite disruptive to VoIP users. Since we only host Asterisk users, our servers have relatively constant load and I/O which we optimize for VoIP usage.

There are hundreds of these providers around the world. As long as they are compatible with Asterisk/FreePBX they will work on our system.

Authoritative DNS for your domainA domain is not required to use an Asterisk PBX. The options are as follows:
1) You can simply point phones/browsers to the public IP we assign to your server.
2) You can use a free service like dyndns.org.
3) You can point an existing domain to the IP we assign to your server.
4) You can register a new domain with any 3rd party domain provider.
5) You can add a hostname to an existing domain and point it to the IP we assign to your server. For example, create a new host called "pbx" in the 'A record' of your DNS settings for your domain, point that host to the IP we assign to your VPS and access it by using "pbx.mydomain.com"
