PBX 3CX for hosting - change the rules of the game

  • Tutorial
Since the beginning of September, a free platform for cloud hosting has become available for download.

As it was before?


We used to have a solution for a cloud service, called 3CX Virtual PBX. The platform is installed on Windows Server 2012, it doesn’t matter if it is a virtual machine or a piece of hardware, and it was possible to deploy up to 25 independent IP PBXs in it. It could be both free demos and commercial licenses.



How will it be now?


3CX Cloud PBX Server is a new installation option for 3CX Phone System v14, which allows you to host up to 25 independent IP-PBXs on one physical server. All entities are separated from each other. Licenses can be either temporary or lifetime. The platform itself is completely free.

How to set?


Download the distribution package, starting with version 14, the installation package is one for the cloud version and for stand-alone:

At startup, the system will prompt you to select the desired version:



We choose how the server will stand - behind NAT or without it:



Specify the internal and external IP and domain name:





Configure SSL:





Clients will have their own access to the admin panel via HTTP . That's ALL - all that remains is to activate the license, permanent or temporary.
