Hi there,

I've used both lylix and slicehost to run asterisk and both worked pretty well.

Slicehost is a great hosting company, with good support and nice VPSs and I still host some stuff there.

I moved Asterisk from Slicehost to Lylix for a couple of reasons -

1 - They've got VM servers in New York so now I get *really* good pings to callcentric who I'm using for SIP. Important for VOIP.

2 - Lylix build the zaptel dummy drivers into the kernel (which is one of the things they mean by 'tuned for ...'). This lets you use the music-on-hold and conferencing features of asterisk which is something you can't do on most VPSs - including Slicehost

If you're feeling brave you can install Asterisk and FreePBX yourself on one of their (cheap!) VPS servers rather than paying the extra for a pre-build VPS.

Regards - Matt
