Sorry for somewhat late response, but I just realized I never responded to this.

You really don't need anything special for 'asterisk hosting', a server in rackshack or servermatrix or any of discount dedicated hosts will serve just fine to start, in fact, *cough* many of the "asterisk termination providers" that are on the list do precisely that. However, when you are serious about things, you start looking at following: a) Guarantees of uptime and hardware replacement: In mass-market dedicated hosting companies, if your (say) power supply dies, it may be up to 24 hours for it to get replaced. Are you prepared to wait that long? b) Support: Even if you don't expect to ever need support, it is a good idea to purchase services from people who will be able to provide it to you. c) Network. While everyone nowaday has a good network, mass-market company will not put a static route for you so your path to your most important vendor or customer is better. d) Internet vs Intranet: Nobody can guarantee any performance over the public internet. However, if you are colocating / buying dedicated servers from same company that is providing you with origination and termination, there's no place to 'pass the buck'. One bill, one contact for issues, better reliability. For example, our customers that have PRIs are completely isolated from our IP network. Voice call comes into our switch, our switch routes it to your PRI - no IP involved. -- Alex Pilosov | DSL, Colocation, Hosting Services President | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 877-PILOSOFT x601 Pilosoft, Inc. | http://www.pilosoft.com _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
