Going from zero to a running dialer in under a minute

From the moment your payment clears to a secured VICIdial you can log into is under 40 seconds. Not a trial that needs a sales call. Not a box you finish configuring yourself. A dedicated server, a hardened install, a branded HTTPS address, and root SSH in your hands. The only thing left for you is to point your carrier at it and dial.

What happens in those 40 seconds

When you pay, our Provisioning pipeline spins up a dedicated Hetzner VPS for you alone, boots a clean Ubuntu, and runs the secured VICIdial install end to end. It issues a real HTTPS certificate for your Branded subdomain so agents log in over TLS from the first minute. Then it hands you the keys. No queue, no ticket, no waiting for an engineer to get to your order.

One server, yours alone

Every box is Single tenant. Your dialer, your leads, and your Call recording files sit on hardware no other customer touches, which keeps your audio off shared disks and your performance away from a noisy neighbor's campaign. You get root SSH, so it is a real server you can inspect, tune, and extend, not a locked panel. We keep Asterisk patched and the Keepalive cron running underneath. You keep control on top.

That split matters when something breaks. On a shared panel you file a ticket and wait. Here the dialer is yours, the logs are yours, and the recordings never leave your disk, so an audit of your own data starts and ends on your box. We own the parts that page at 3am: the CVE patches, the database tuning, the cron that restarts a crashed process. You own the campaigns, the leads, and the rates. The line between what we run and what you run is the whole point.

Bring your own carrier

We do not sell minutes, and we do not lock you to a carrier. You add your own SIP trunk from whatever provider gives you the best rate, point the Carrier at your new box, and the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) registration and RTP media flow straight to your dedicated server. Because the IP is yours alone, IP-authenticated trunks are clean to whitelist. The dialer is already tuned for Dialer pacing, so once the Trunk is up you are placing calls, not chasing config.

Bringing your own carrier also keeps your rates honest. You negotiate directly, you swap providers when one gets cheap, and you never pay a per-minute markup on top of hosting. If you run regulated traffic, that separation helps: your audio, your records, and your carrier relationship stay in your name, which makes compliance easier to defend even though we do not run that compliance for you. The box is fast to stand up and built for you to own.

Why this beats the weekend install

A from-scratch install is a real project: compile the stack, sort the codecs, fight NAT, tune the database, wire the cron. The scratch-install walkthrough shows exactly how much is involved, and our install guide covers the path if you want to run it yourself. The managed route collapses all of it into one payment. The same hardened result, minus the careful afternoon and the 3am pages.

Start dialing today

You do not pick the OS, chase a Perl module, or guess at NAT settings. You pay, and in under 40 seconds a secured dialer is waiting on a Branded subdomain with root SSH and your own BYOI (bring your own infrastructure) carrier ready to connect. Plans run from BYOI through fully hosted, billed monthly, no contract. Pick a plan and provision now.
