VOIP on Linux Dedicated servers ?

**Catherine** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-01-2009, 00:05

Do you allow VOIP (Voice Over IP) on your Linux Dedicated servers ? will your support department configure VOIP on my server or I will have to do it on my own ? What are the charges for having VOIP on the server ?

Hello Catherine,

We have many customers who use our high end Dell servers for VOIP requirements. There should be no problem for you to use this server for similar requirements. We can install the VOIP software on the server as per your requirements and you won't need to pay anything for software installation.

Thank you for the quick answers. I want to know if you allow VOIP on your VPS or a Semi-dedicated server ? I am asking this as a VPS is quite affordable in comparison to a Dedicated server and I can afford a VPS easily.

I wouldn't recommend a VPS/Semi Dedicated server to be used as a VOIP server because VOIP server takes up quite a lot of memory and cpu which are limited on a VPS. A dedicated server is the best recommendation for a VOIP server.

Thank you for your quick reply Ryan. I was wondering whether it is necessary to have a control panel with the dedicated server if I want to have VOIP on the server ? Will the presence of control panel effect the performance of the server ?

Using a control panel on a Dedicated Server or on any server is always a good option. It helps you to efficiently manage the server. 70 to 80 % of your tasks can be managed by using a control panel. So it is always a good choice to use a control panel as it saves your time and energy.

In general, a control panel can provide you with major advantages and unless you have server administration skills, you will be at a disadvantage if you don’t purchase a control panel license with your dedicated server.

Yes Ryan, I second you on that. If you are a new webmaster then you can cosider the control panel as your guide for server administration. Automated Configuration and Automated Installation can be done with just a few clicks from the control panel. You will have all the server stuff at your finger tips.

Even if you're experienced, it can be a lot faster and simpler to make changes through a control panel instead of having to do everything through SSH etc.
