What is Hosted VOIP?

Hosted VoIP means to say that the hardware and PBX is hosted at an off-site location where your phones connect to a provider that maintains the equipment at an off-site cloud data center, either through a managed connection or through an internet connection.

• Hosted VOIP solutions generally have a lower upfront cost and are typically charged as a monthly fee per user, and sometimes per feature.
• Hosted VOIP solutions generally have a very low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) due to the savings in IT personnel, elimination of service calls for your premise based PBX, and because the hosted VOIP provider takes care of server/PBX configuration and maintenance.

Finally, consider how your business may grow in the coming years. If there is potential for rapid growth you will need to consider how this will impact your purchase. If going with a premises-based solution, you will likely want to purchase a larger appliance than is initially needed to accommodate growth. With hosted VoIP, new users can be added to the phone system as needed.
