The analog voice data carried on traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) was very effective for decades, but today’s digital environment requires communication solutions with multiple capabilities. As consumers and organizations become part of a more connected world, the devices they use must be able to integrate many of the options available to them. Increasingly, these communications options are being hosted by service providers so they can be accessed on smartphones, tablets and other computing devices. Future Hosting, a specialized VPS hosting and SaaS (News - Alert) application hosting provider, has announced it is making a new range of Asterisk VoiP and PBX hosting plans for business telecommunications.


Asterisk (News - Alert) was originally released in 1999, and since that time has grown into an advanced and powerful open source communications engine. It is a system designed for business and development teams who want to create their own communications applications. The popularity of the framework is responsible for powering almost every Fortune 1,000 company as well as over 1 million communication systems in more than 170 countries.

By hosting the Asterisk VoiP and PBX (News - Alert), Future Hosting is giving organizations of any size the ability to deploy a hosted business phone system with a reliable global infrastructure. The company has points of presence in the U.S., Europe, and Australia, allowing Asterisk SaaS hosting clients to deploy their communications solution in any of the five data centers in these countries. This ensures the services will be up and running at all times with multiple redundancy systems, including the Future Protect continuous data protection backup service.

The Asterisk SaaS application hosting plans includes Pure SSD storage, full server environment with root access and a range of powerful virtual private servers running CentOS with a secure, pre-configured installation of Asterisk. The solution is designed for easy upgrades with the ability to reinstall on-demand in the event of any incidents.

“Our application hosting offers the same straightforward deployment and ease-of-use as traditional SaaS products, but with far more flexibility — clients are able to alter the server environment and application configuration, or, if they prefer, use the optimized, secure configuration we provide,” said Maulesh Patel, VP of Operations of Future Hosting.

The Asterisk framework is used as the core engine of many communications applications because of the flexibility and scalability it provides. Some of the solutions it offers include: business phone system / IP PBX, VoIP gateway, voicemail server, conference bridge, call center, IVR server and many more.

The ability to host an open source communications platform globally means almost anyone can develop their own solution without any limitations. This gives organizations the option of freeing themselves from many of the restrictions telecom operators place on their customers. With Future Hosting and the Asterisk framework, components that serve a wide range of functions can be created and deployed without having to compromise on your communications needs.
