FreePBX on a VPS: a business phone system with no per-seat subscription

FreePBX is the reference web interface for running Asterisk, the open source telephony engine. Installed on your VPS, it replaces a phone system rented per seat: you create as many extensions as you need, and the price of the server stays the same.

Install FreePBX without the command line

Asterisk and FreePBX are installed and started while the server is deployed. You open the interface, create your extensions and add your provider’s SIP trunk. Nothing to compile, no dependencies to sort out.

Which configuration for FreePBX?

For most small businesses, Pulse is enough. What drives the needs up is simultaneous calls, recording every call, conferences and transcoding between codecs. Move up a plan when those uses arrive, pro rata, without reinstalling.

IP phones, softphones and SIP trunks

FreePBX speaks SIP: IP desk phones, desktop softphones and mobile apps register on it. On the provider side, you connect the SIP trunk of your choice and keep your numbers.

Who it is for: small businesses, firms and call centres

A phone welcome with a voice menu for a small business, a multi-site phone system for a growing company, queues for a customer service team, an integrator hosting its clients’ phone systems: FreePBX covers all of it, on a server of your own.

Frequently asked questions

What is a FreePBX VPS?

An Intel Xeon Gold 6132 Linux VPS with Asterisk and FreePBX installed and started automatically during deployment. You receive the address of the web interface and your logins: the phone system is ready, and you keep root access to the machine.

Are phone numbers and calls included?

No. The VPS provides the phone system, not the line. You connect the SIP trunk of the provider of your choice, who supplies the numbers and bills the calls. You can also port your current numbers to a SIP provider.

Is there a licence to pay?

No. FreePBX and Asterisk are open source software, with no per-seat licence. Sangoma, the publisher of FreePBX, sells optional commercial modules: you buy them only if you need them.

Which plan should I choose?

Start from the number of simultaneous calls, not the number of extensions. Pulse suits most small teams. Take Flow or Edge if you record every call, run busy queues or conferences, and Scale for a call centre. You change plans pro rata.

Which phones work with FreePBX?

Any SIP-compatible IP phone, softphones on Windows, macOS and Linux, and SIP apps on iOS and Android. You can mix models on the same phone system.

Is my phone system backed up?

The VPS is not backed up automatically. FreePBX includes a backup and restore module: schedule a regular backup to external storage. We can advise you on the method if needed.

Can I migrate an existing FreePBX?

Yes. The FreePBX backup module exports the configuration, extensions and voicemail, which you restore on your VPS. If you would rather not handle it, open a ticket before ordering: our support team will help you.

Where are your VPS hosted?

Our FreePBX VPS are hosted in Montreal, Canada. Your extensions, voicemail and call recordings stay on Canadian soil.
