How do I connect to the PSTN?
Our hosted AsteriskNow VPS is an IP-PBX platform solution. This means you will have to supply your own ITSP, there is no direct connection to the PSTN. Any provider that supports connectivity with Asterisk will work fine, including Asterisk supported codecs and protocols.
Does MOH and Meetme work?
Absolutely! Our VPS environment is optimized for AsteriskNow/Asterisk hosting; each host is complimented with the necessary Zaptel devices to support the operation of Music-on-hold (MOH) and conferencing (Meetme). In addition, extensive CPU scheduling and other performance tuning provides a dependable environment to carry out VOIP communications.
How many calls can it handle?
Our exclusive and standard VPS plans are typically rated for a maximum capacity of about 20 - 25 concurrent calls. This value can vary widely depending on transcoding of media streams (ie. g729 to ulaw), simultaneously running applications in the VPS, local on-site bandwidth capacity where extensions are located, etc.
In some cases, customers have successfully handled 30 and more concurrent calls with acceptable quality. When reaching these levels of capacity and beyond, we highly recommend to consider our "dedicated" VPS service, where you will be guaranteed a minimum amount of CPU usage as well as limited sharing of the host server.
An AsteriskNow VPS hosted at LYLIX is a great solution for your telephony needs. Each installation is backed by the standard array of features found with every LYLIX VPS, including realtime data replication for high availability.
Besides our VOIP optimized environment, the VPS solution is completely scalable; if you're just starting out small you can begin with the basic resources, but as your activity and volume grow, your VPS can be seemlessly upgraded, even up to a 1:1 "dedicated" VPS!
