AsteriskNOW Hosting

Our AsteriskNOW hosted asterisk solution is a distribution created by the makers of Asterisk (Digium).  Digium combined Asterisk + FreePBX into an easy to install easy to use product well suited for anyone looking for a solid asterisk PBX without a lot of unnecessary add ons and complexity.  They then packaged that up into Linux RPM files stored on their own respository.  They also store copies of files from the CentOS 5 distribution.  This allows Digium to have control over all the versions of all the various files to ensure compatibility.  Our PowerPBX team has packaged up and tested this AsteriskNOW distribution and tested it on our virtual private servers to ensure it works exactly as it would if I was installed on a dedicated server in an office environment.

Who Is It For?

The AsteriskNOW asterisk hosted solution was built for anyone who wants a very simple way to configure and operate Asterisk and FreePBX without a lot of extra bells and whistles which could cause reliability and security issues.  It is good for someone who wants an Asterisk hosting solution that is easy to upgrade via yum with the opiton of commercial support directly from Digium.

Who Supports AsteriskNOW?

AsteriskNow is supported via their website in forums and mail lists. Digium also offers paid commercial support.  This is one advantage of this Asterisk hosting distribution since Digium is the original creator of Asterisk.
