The testing I've done with linode specifically have been pretty good. I've not seen any major problems with audio quality. However, my tests were not intensive and I did not do any call-volume testing. For $20, I'd recommend trying it out for a month. Linode support is pretty good as well, their IRC channel is fairly active.<br>

Thanks for taking the time -- you seem to confirm my fears about choppy audio due to high latency on virtual machines... :-)<div><br></div><div>My site is going to be streaming a lot of audio via red5 servers (internet) and running an IVR using freeswitch</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">While I can't really speak to a hosted Xen setup, I ran freeswitch on a premise-based ESXi system rather successfully for a period of time. I did end up moving it to a dedicated hardware box, however, due to the issues with (slightly) choppy audio, and my biggest issue, the sender --> receiver latency whenever someone would speak. The latter might not be an issue, if you're just using it for an IVR, however what I did find to be wonderful was how easy the migration was. I literally just installed the same OS on my hardware system, built & compiled FS (with the same options / modules), then copied the entire /conf directory from my VM to the hardware system and restarted FS there. I should also note that all other variables (hostname, IP, etc) remained the same between the VM and the hardware box.<br>

Dear All,<div><br></div><div>I'm interested in installing Freeswitch on Xen servers (e.g. <a href="http://linode.com" target="_blank">linode.com</a> or slicehost or maybe even Amazon EC2). I'll be purchasing a few SIP trunks to my freeswitch installation and running an an IVR system there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd like to know whether this is a recommended or desirable thing to do. I've heard that the latency on Xen can be bad for "real time" applications like IVRs. Don't want to install freeswitch on my server and later hear choppy voice on the IVR!! :-)</div>
