The world is changing fast and many businesses have already started to think about the possibilities of voice over internet protocol(VoIP). The same technology allows phone calls to happen over the internet, instead of using traditional lines.
As a result, companies pay less money on their monthly bills and can use features such as recording, forwarding or using voice mail. If you want to rent a dedicated server for creating a VoIP system, you will be able to accomplish your goals at an affordable price. Here’s what you should know!
What do you need to get started?
In the past, most VoIP services required specialized hardware – such as VoiP phones or analog adaptors(ATA). While you’re still able to use them, nowadays it is much easier to set up the same system. All you need is a dedicated server with an OS installed and an application.
The VoIP works by converting a person’s voice into a digital signal. Employees and customers will place or receive calls using any device, such as laptops, smartphones, tablets or computers. As long as they have a good internet connection, there won’t be any issue.
How much money will you save?
Let’s say you choose a traditional VoIP company. Even if you don’t pay for the normal phone system, there are still monthly fees involved. Sometimes you’ll be charged more for unique phones, multiple lines or add-ons like video conferencing. With a private VoIP on a dedicated server, all of these costs will be eliminated. You rent the server that’s already useful for the website and emails anyway, so why not get the most out of it?
Bigger companies save hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month using this type of hosting. There is no PBX, copper wiring or phone maintenance fees. You also save money on employees. You won’t need a huge support staff to answer common questions, because you will have automated messages.
What are some advanced features?
VoIP systems don’t just lower monthly expenses, but they provide amazing functionality. For example, let’s say you don’t want to use just a phone number. If that’s the case, you will create a virtual one in each area where you do business. Other options are to use video and instant messaging tools or forward calls to voicemail boxes. The audio quality is improved, so you won’t have to worry about small details. Since you’ll have a dedicated server, you can even allow customers to initiate voice calls with the staff directly from the website. That’s possible without showing any personal information.
Are you ready to set up your own VoIP system?
VoIP systems are designed to easily integrate in dedicated hosting. Switching your business’s traditional landline is a great idea if you want to reduce costs or introduce better ways for communication. You can use a CRM software too, to easily monitor calling data in real-time. With the right dedicated server, you gain access to a fully customizable environment and it’ll be easy to set up a VoIP that works.
