Voice over IP (VoIP) is not a new technology. Many companies provide services that aim to compete with large telephone companies by providing VoIP at a fraction of the cost of traditional telephone systems. But a dedicated server has the ability to set up its own dedicated phone system. Other than that, features that are usually only used in the most expensive phone plans, such as Auto Attendant can run on VoIP without any extra cost.
First of all, to create a VoIP on a dedicated server, you will need to know how to set up and monitor the system. For beginners, such information on settings up a VoIP can be found on forums or blogs on the internet. But research on details of this technology. If you have some knowledge/expertise on this, then it might be a good idea to switch to a VoIP running on a dedicated server.
No Phone Bills
Compared to the traditional phone system, it usually has a high monthly fee, VoIP phone companies are generally cheaper, but they usually still charge a monthly fee and may charge additional fees for some equipment to use their services and limit the number of extensions that can be used.
With dedicated VoIP, all these costs can be eliminated, the only fee you need to pay is the dedicated server fee. If you already paying for hosting websites and emails, dedicated VoIP is ideal by using the same dedicated server to host the phones, thereby reducing overall monthly operating costs. This will save a big amount of costs, especially for large companies.
