LylixI just stumbled across Lylix, an Asterisk virtual private server hosting provider. They offer Trixbox, AsteriskNow, PBX in a Flash and Elastix solutions starting at $30/month. I haven’t tried them yet but Lylix maybe a solution for the following scenarios:

  • Testing out different Asterisk IP-PBX solutions.
  • Central PBX for organizations without a main office.
  • Public facing PBX connected via IAX/SIP trunks back to internal PBX
    • External VoIP clients can connect easily (less issues with NAT).
    • Higher security for internal PBX.
    • Backup PBX in case internal PBX goes down.

You can get external PSTN connectivity using IAX or SIP trunks back to your own PBX or from any Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) such as Junction Networks or Teliax.
