Re: [PBX] PBX in the cloud or Build your own. said by toro:How about hosting it on a virtual private server ? Currently I have my asterisk on a VPS that costs just $1 per month. My VPS is a little small, just 128 MB RAM so I had to do some tweaking to install everything I needed, but you can get for example a 512MB VPS for $3.50 which has plenty of resources to run lots of things on it (like a web server, php, mysql, etc).
As a little bonus, since it's hosted in US, I also configured a VPN server on it so I can get the US version of Netflix from Canada 
I do too, though I pay a little more than you do at $1.25 a month. I'm going to have to shop around a bit. Despite dire warnings not to do this (host on a cheap VPS) I find it well able to deal with my needs. I wouldn't run a business on it though.

| I did a little Internet searching and did not come up with any VPS provider any where as cheap as quoted. Not sure I would have much trust in $3.50 or even cheaper per month host provider.
I am still looking at the idea of a cloud PBX but also the thought of building my own Virtual Machine PC has crossed my mind. I have some other things such as a pc base security system that could probably be moved to a VM and always like to tinker.My problem is I know not much about what VM software or platform would be best and or at what cost. |

| Nunya,
Since I have zero experience with VM I am unclear what free ones to try, I looked at VMware Player and Virtualbox, but sort of got lost. It was not clear to me if I had to start with a clear clean PC or if I could just load one on and existing Windows PC. My only available PC's are still running winXP. I have win7 on my laptop and have ab HTPC also running winXp as a Sage TV server. My current PIAF box is a lowly P3 1100 with just 512 of memory so its probably out. I am thinking of building a new Win7 or 8 HTPC but not sure I would want to put or even could run VM on it. I don't think and HTPC server would work out well in a VM? But again I am starting with now working knowledge just what little I have read up on it. |

I suggest you look at lowendbox.com and the associated forum LowEndTalk. I use a 128mb ram KVM server from hostigation and have found them to be excellent. At $30/year, which includes a static ip address, I find the VPS route to be very economical.
Another provider frequently recommended at LowEndTalk is buyvm.net.
Cheers,
