The PBX
3CX is a software phone system for businesses, developed by the company of the same name since 2005. It is built on the SIP standard and on WebRTC: it handles extensions, numbers and the SIP trunks of your VoIP provider, call queues, ring groups, the auto attendant (IVR) and office hours, and it delivers calls to IP phones, the browser and the Android and iOS apps.
Beyond voice, 3CX brings video calls, website live chat and WhatsApp messages into the same console, and it integrates with CRMs such as Salesforce, HubSpot and Zoho, with Microsoft 365 and with Google. You can run it hosted by 3CX, on premise on a server in your office, or self-hosted on a cloud server: the 3CX VPS is that third option, with the PBX on a machine of your own in Italy.
3CX requirements
The three sizes follow the requirements 3CX publishes for its PBX on Linux Debian, last updated by the vendor on 23 April 2026. The number of extensions is the yardstick: according to 3CX, call queues and group calls load the CPU more than one-to-one calls.
Source: recommended hardware specifications published by 3CX. Recordings and voicemail take about 1 MB per minute of audio: if you record many calls, choose a size with more storage.
In the 3CX VPS
The 3CX VPS comes with the resources 3CX asks for and with everything you need to install the PBX from the first login.
Handled by you or your 3CX partner
The 3CX VPS is an unmanaged service: you install and run the PBX yourself, or the 3CX partner who looks after you does.
Installation
Start from the number of extensions on your PBX: Small up to 10, Medium up to 50, Large up to 250. You buy the 3CX VPS from the cart, with annual billing.
Open the VPS console from the panel: the 3CX ISO is already attached, and from there you install Debian with 3CX without uploading any file.
Once the installation ends, the 3CX setup wizard asks for your licence and the PBX details. Then you set up extensions, queues and SIP trunks from the 3CX console.
Why Italy
Voice does not forgive delays. Hosting 3CX in Italy shortens the path between the PBX, your extensions and your Italian VoIP provider.
The 3CX VPS runs on our Edge network of data centers in Italy, on the same network as your users and your VoIP provider in Italy: a shorter path for voice, cleaner calls.
On the VPS a systems engineer replies at any hour: network, resources and console are our job, the PBX stays yours.
Recordings, voicemail and call history stay on a VPS in Italy, under Italian jurisdiction and within the GDPR: your data is never moved outside the EU.
FAQ
Cannot find the answer? Write to us: a systems engineer replies, not a salesperson.
A 3CX VPS is a virtual server sized to self-host the 3CX PBX: resources on the 3CX requirements, the installation ISO already attached and a dedicated public IPv4. It gives you the control of an on-premise PBX, without a server in the office.
No, the 3CX licence is not included with the 3CX VPS. You buy it from 3CX or a 3CX partner and enter it in the installation wizard. Rackone provides the VPS, the attached ISO and support on the infrastructure.
The 3CX VPS size follows the number of extensions, as 3CX states in its requirements: Small up to 10 extensions, Medium up to 50, Large up to 250. If you use many call queues or record many calls, the next size up is the safer choice.
3CX is installed on the 3CX VPS from the console in the Rackone panel: the 3CX ISO is already attached, so you start the installation of Debian with 3CX and complete the setup wizard, where you enter the licence.
3CX hosting on a VPS has two separate costs: the annual fee of the 3CX VPS, shown in the plans on this page, and the 3CX licence, which 3CX sells as an annual fee per system based on simultaneous calls. You buy the licence from 3CX or a 3CX partner.
No, the 3CX VPS is an unmanaged service: you or your 3CX partner install and configure 3CX. On the VPS itself, meaning network, resources and console, Rackone support replies 24h in English or Italian.
With hosting by 3CX the PBX runs on infrastructure chosen and billed by 3CX. With a 3CX VPS in Italy the PBX runs on your own server on the Rackone Edge network: you know where the data is, you get a dedicated IPv4 and support on the infrastructure.
