VoIP has been one of the most significant new technologies to arise from the Internet in the past decade. It allows people to communicate with each other all over the world at no cost in most situations. A very distinct example of a VoIP service is Skype, one of the most popular web communications services available today. For someone looking for VoIP hosting, a dedicated server can be turned into a personalized VoIP server using applications such as Asterisk or Trixbox depending on what the actual requirements are.

Asterisk

Asterisk is one of the most popular VoIP solutions available and can be installed on most dedicated servers. Asterisk is an open source voice communications application designed for use on Linux dedicated server hosting services and supports a number of different voice communications technologies that allow businesses to streamline their internal communication infrastructure. As an application, Asterisk also supports a number of different hardware devices, which will be of benefit to larger businesses that are looking to setup a custom server cluster.

To be able to make the most of Asterisk, it is highly recommended to choose a high specification Linux dedicated server that is able to provide you with the hardware resources necessary to run Asterisk at the level you want it to run. If you are unable to install and configure Asterisk yourself on any of our managed Linux dedicated server, our support team will install the application for you thus ensuring that Asterisk is setup properly and functions as per your satisfaction on your Linux dedicated server.

Trixbox

Trixbox is also an open source application that has been developed using Asterisk as a base, the only difference being that ready-made hardware with Trixbox already installed and configured can be purchased. However, if you are a Linux dedicated server web hosting user, you can arrange to have Trixbox installed on your Linux dedicated server for yourself meaning that you don’t necessarily need to purchase premium hardware in order to be able to make the most of this application.

In conclusion, a VoIP server allows larger businesses to streamline their internal communication structure. Both Asterisk and Trixbox can be integrated with existing company directories based on existing Linux services such as LDAP meaning that you will be able to ensure that your employees are able to communicate with one another easily. For a VoIP server to be effective you need to be sure that you are able to make use of the relevant hardware including SIP phones that will be able to connect to and interact with your VoIP server.
