FreePBX on VPS
-
Hi Mangolassi! I've been stalking this site for a while and thought it's time for my first post here.
I'm currently hosting a FreeBPX box on a VPS. Lately, the performance has been subpar to say the least. Lots of jitter, and drops. The VPS provider is looking into it, but I'm looking for plan B. Does anyone here have any experience with FreePBX on a VPS? If so, which provider would be best? I am located in Pennsylvania, so NY, NJ, or better still, Ashburn, VA would be the best location for us.
I've been reading up on Linode, Backspace, Vultr, and DO. Ideally, the ability to upload my own ISO (the FreePBX distro ISO) would be the easiest, but I am open to other options as well.
I'll be using the VPS exclusively for FreePBX systems, so obviously, the main requirement is voice quality. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Vultr!
The $5 VPS will work just fine and they support custom ISO's so you can just use the distro...
There NYC location should work great for you
Use this code link, and get $5 free to test

@fuznutz04 Welcome, and great question!

@aaronstuder I'm glad you mentioned Vultr. I was looking at them recently was was thinking "These guys have to be too good to be true."

Out of those, Vultr is the only one that supports custom ISO's (I think)

Right, that's one of the reasons I was thinking theses guys are the real deal.

@fuznutz04 They are the real deal. I use them. I think @scottalanmiller might too.

Yardley, PA (as far east PA as you can get!)
Though I work in Lawrenceville, NJ -
We have been very happy with Vultr. But we also use DO and are happy with them as well. But we have Linode, Rackspace and various others (HATE Azure) but other than that.
-
@johnhooks uses Vultr as well.
-
I was going to try to find someone from Vultr to come over here, but it seems they have no marketing people.....

I've had a similar experience with Azure. I like Microsoft's 365 offerings in regards to email, etc, but their Azure stuff for servers is not where it needs to be. The interface in confusing at first glance, and they seem to have more issues than I want to deal with.

Michele Horzepa is their Business Administration person so that would likely be a good place to start.

Thanks for the contact info. I'm spinning one up right now to start some testing!

I've been toying with the idea of a PBX on cloud myself using Digital Ocean. NerdVittles has a write up on FreePBX on that platform. http://nerdvittles.com/?p=17205

that's Scott's fault - anything he touches that is Microsoft based turns to ****, I think he has an anti MS gene
