But please keep in mind that for an extra 5 Euros per month you can have another PBXes account on the www1 server, to mirror your trunks and extensions, thus having instant fail-over instead of waiting for your account to move to another server.
Regarding the server you mentioned in NL, can you please get a quote for a server with 4 to 8 cores CPU (i5 or i7 from 2.5GHz to 3GHz), RAM of 8 to 12 Gb expandable to 32 Gb, 100 to 200 GB of HD space, 500 Gb to 1 Tb traffic per month, remote boot facility & rescue system. Let's find out what they will quote you. |

www.xlshosting.nl they offer vps on a san, spare backup in case server goes down. They might offer dedicated hardware but you would have to contact them.
Online I can only see max 4 cores, 8 gb, 240 gb hdd 6tb data euro 214,10 per month, monthly contract. This includes restart on another server in case the server goes down, data stored on san.
or go to www.webhostingtalk.nl to get several quotes from dutch companies.
all also depens on the serive levels you need, I assume you manage you own server. In case of dedicated server, replacement of broken parts in 4, 8, 24 hours. Do you need 24/7 service or emergency number. Als questions you can post for a qoute on webhostingtalk.nl if you are interested.
But if you want to shop for a server there are many other hosters around in netherlands. Just depends on the spec you are lokking for. for reliability for my own webshop I am using vps with san and not dedicated server, but who am I telling you what's best. In the end it's all about what do you want to pay to may a failsafe system.
As for settingup a second account. this might be an option but ask yourself the following question ?
Pbxes promotes itself as a system that offers a failover in case of problems. Now you are really saying that in order to have true failover I would need a second account ?
You might be true because lately it looks that pbxes failover system does not work at all and I would need a second account.
But wait recently we have seen problem with many server to both might go down.
The real question here is really reliability of pbxes which seems to bee the big issue the last year.
I have been using pbxes for several years and in the beginning hardly any problems the last year more and more problems.
One can say the price for pbxes is low and has not changed the last years. That said servers have become cheaper or same price but 4 times the capacity comparred to 3 years ago. Same applies to bandwidth included in a setup. San storage and failover server have become more common these days.
It's nice also to have free accounts and offer these but maybe growth in that area affects users that are paying. You might want to think about seperate servers for paying customers and for non paying customers.
If 1 server of 2 go down they are switched to other server and I don't know if there is enough capacity for all that switching. Same question when I am located in europe I don't want a usa server to be switched to.
As I said some things really have to change. You are offering phone service and I like many others rely on the phone for doing business. When down it cost time and money and when it happens to much it's bye bye pbxes, here I come vps could server.

@Mark: There are ways to go around the limitation of the single URI, but your ITSP should understand the fail-over requirement and allow multiple SIP URIs to be used. If not, I am almost certain there are other ITSPs with 0844 numbers which can be more accommodating.
Regarding the 50% discount for the second and third accounts, I am almost certain the billing system recognizes it automatically, as long as you visit the Shop page after having logged in to your current PBXes account. I am almost certain Premium accounts work that way, and i-p-tel can certainly clarify this later on for SoHo accounts.
@Ron: The truth is, that you are gravely mistaken about the capabilities of the SPA-1001. It is one of the best ATAs Sipura ever produced, and the only ATA which will hold two registrations and output them to one FXS.
The SPA-10001 can be setup as an extension on two different PBXes accounts hosted on different servers, and accept incoming calls on one handset. The user is oblivious as to which line the call came in, since the SPA-1001 has only one FXS port. Every other ATA has two ports so the user can distinguish the line of the incoming call. I originally devised using two PBXes accounts for redundancy based on this unique feature of the SPA-1001, since the IP phones with multiple extensions were not widespread.
